   Hello Stas!

   Yes.. the Thinkpad T60 is kinda like that!  But it isn't     
   designed to hurt anyone.  ;)   
      
      
    AA>> The HDD+SSD project sounds more time consuming.   
      
    SM> For a desktop computer, this is a reasonable solution. For a laptop -   
    SM> only if there is an M2 slot, or you don't need DVD anymore.   
      
   I do have a couple of desktops that might benefit from such a     
   combination.  For now, I decided to order a dedicated external     
   4TB HDD device for incrementals and/or images.   
      
      
    AA>> What is "proper"?  Are you referring to TRIM and what is also   
    AA>> referred to as Garbage Collection?   
      
    SM> They say TRIM significantly prolongs the life of the SSD.   
      
   My reading of TRIM is that it is beneficial only because Win7     
   and up conduct vast amounts of continuous disk activity far and     
   above what XP with normal user activity might do.   
      
   Anyway.. I'm also reading that with proper "alignment" of the     
   SSD, and with sufficient unused space on the SSD, lack of TRIM     
   won't be an issue. In fact, by the time I settle down with the     
   new installation, I might consider upgrading to Win7/32, albiet     
   limited to the maxed 3GB RAM on the T60.   
      
      
    AA>> adjusted (aligned) partitions, the SSD should have very few   
    AA>> issues operating without TRIM.   
      
    SM> I won't argue.   
      
   I will report!  The SSD should arrive on Friday.  I just forgot     
   to order an external USB/SATA connector.  So.. the initial     
   cloning won't occur until about a week later now.
