   Well, I'm using Linux Mint 22.1 if that helps any.  I know you probably   
   couldn't do anything like this on Windows but, I am using Linux.   
      
   I mean, I already have these HDD's, why not re-purpose them and give them   
   another function as SSD's. I've been researching it and they say solid   
   state drives give you faster boot times, less power consumption, faster   
   read/write speeds, etc...   
      
   Why in the world wouldn't I want to take what I have and upgrade them into   
   more powerful and useful drives?  I know how to solder and if I need to   
   buy a few parts, as long as they are very inexpensive, I can do that.
