I’ve thought about that.. but decided to do a clean install of both Winblows and Linux, to make it simple (and get rid of the junk the easy away ;-)
Did read a lot of complaints about Acronis though o.O

"fill up smaller drives quickly."

THIS!! I hate the 128g that came with the laptop. You could say that I am a storage space horder.. I have 2 2TB externals, and all 3 of my HDs are pretty full (the external SSD is my Linux OS)

I have seen places that use daisy wheels for the same reason

The noise would drive me nuts.

I use them without a heat sink on top. They work fine. Each nvme ssd is installed in a different computer running Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al

BTW, the Samsung cloning software I got off their web site worked great.

If your existing drive is operational and you want to clone it, a $15 case for the drive stick that gives you a USB interface is well worth it even for the one time use.

Disregard my previous, just saw this.

I set up the computers for a small engineering office I worked for in the early 1980s. We ended up with a giant sound deadening enclosure with hi-density eggcrate foam for our daisywheel printer. We generated a lot of documents, and laser printers weren’t economical yet. That thing ran for hours many days, it was a tank.

Having been through all the various printing and word processing technologies through the 1980s and 90s made it so that when Buckhead called out CBS on their fake Bush Air Force memos, I immediately knew he was 100% correct and that CBS was busted. I first saw that post within minutes of it being made.

If the motherboard supports NVMe M.2 PCIe then for $60.00 there is Silicon Power 512GB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 TLC R/W up to 3,400/2,300MB/s SSD (To support a Silicon Power PCIe SSD, the system must have an M. 2 connector with only an M key. The Silicon Power PCIe SSD does not have a b notch and therefore, the b key on the SSD connector will prevent it from being inserted)

Or Samsung (MZ-V7E500BW) 970 EVO SSD 500GB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology, Black/Red

But if you want a SSD, and just for your OS, then for 28.00 Silicon Power 256GB SSD 3D NAND A55 SLC Cache Performance Boost SATA III 2.5" 7mm (0.28") Internal Solid State Drive (SP256GBSS3A55S25)

Or Silicon Power 512GB SSD 3D NAND A55 SLC Cache Performance Boost SATA III 2.5" 7mm (0.28") Internal Solid State Drive (SP512GBSS3A55S25)

Or Pioneer 3D NAND Internal SSD 1TB - 2.5" / SATA 3/6 GB/s Solid State Drive (APS-SL3N-1T)

There is much misinfo posted about SSD's which are now judged to last much longer than mechanical drives, and are the preferred means for storage. Prices have fallen to about $10 per 100 GB. But you do not need one for storage, just the OS. However, with a laptop that would mean needing an external drive.

You could get a Pioneer 3D NAND External SSD(240 GB)-Portable Solid State Drive USB 3.1 Gen 1 (APS-XS03-240) for $34.99 and use that to boot from, or

Or for $123.95 SAMSUNG T5 Portable SSD 500GB - Up to 540MB/s - USB 3.1 External Solid State Drive, Black (MU-PA500B/AM)

Hope this helps. Use tech for God and good. Peace By Jesus

Remember the selectric typewriter? A mechanical marvel!
