Speaking of good books, anyone read Dunkirk by Sebag-Montefiore? Up to chapter 11 and so far, so excellent.

Aye, I got it a while back. Read it on one of my weekends away 'somewhere' east of Suez.

Hi all,
ORIGINAL: sprior

For your laptop?

Yep... it will be 2nd drive in laptop (I will keep original HDD for data storage - it is 1TB and I like it)...

I got Intel X-25M G2 80GB ("safe" older choice but should be reliable and several magnitudes faster than HDD).

I will put only OS and programs on it (80 GB is enough for OS, SWAP, Temp and all programs I use on laptop)...

P.S.
I am planning to have similar setups (i.e. SDD for OS and HDD for storage both at home and at work shortly)! [:)]

1TB HDD for your laptop?  Now I have ... er.... hard drive envy.  [:D]

I recently bought a 2TB external drive for backups.  Very happy with it so far.

Hi all,
ORIGINAL: USS America

1TB HDD for your laptop?  Now I have ... er.... hard drive envy.  [:D]

It is 17" laptop (thus quite big = 2x internal HDD/SDD bays)...

I recently bought a 2TB external drive for backups.  Very happy with it so far. 

I also use 2TB external eSATA for Archive / BackUp (I prefer eSATA to USB)...

My external is USB (USB3, but none of our computers have that capability yet) so I can easily attach it to any of our 3 laptops or the desktop.
