SSD is 'the biggest no-brainer in the history of the earth'...

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,
mrh
