In Reply to: You think it's worth putting an SSD in this thing? posted by ghost of olddude55 on March 12, 2022 at 10:57:58:
to perk up any even remotely "modern" 'pute.
I put 'em everywhere...
Here's a non-random but sufficiently bizarre example:I - literally - am not sure where we got this ancient Thinkpad R60 from... or more to the point, why we got it. I found it in one of the closets looking for something else. I figured it wasn't any good for anything else, so I put a 256 GB SSD loaded with Linux Mint in it and configured it for ripping CDs.
Heck, today, a small-ish SSD isn't even very expensive.
The one caveat -- for whatever reason, just like an HDD, the SSDs have a finite lifespan. Back up any important "content" fastidiously & always have a recovery plan (including spare 'pute or drop-in replacment drive handy).
all the best,
