Hello Stas!

 AA>> The T60

 SM> Waw! https://arsenal-info.ru/images/img-3_6/tanki-tank-t-60-tth-video-fot
 SM> o.jpg

Yes.. the Thinkpad T60 is kinda like that!  But it isn't  
designed to hurt anyone.  ;)


 AA>> The HDD+SSD project sounds more time consuming.

 SM> For a desktop computer, this is a reasonable solution. For a laptop -
 SM> only if there is an M2 slot, or you don't need DVD anymore.

I do have a couple of desktops that might benefit from such a  
combination.  For now, I decided to order a dedicated external  
4TB HDD device for incrementals and/or images.


 AA>> What is "proper"?  Are you referring to TRIM and what is also
 AA>> referred to as Garbage Collection?

 SM> They say TRIM significantly prolongs the life of the SSD.

My reading of TRIM is that it is beneficial only because Win7  
and up conduct vast amounts of continuous disk activity far and  
above what XP with normal user activity might do.

Anyway.. I'm also reading that with proper "alignment" of the  
SSD, and with sufficient unused space on the SSD, lack of TRIM  
won't be an issue. In fact, by the time I settle down with the  
new installation, I might consider upgrading to Win7/32, albiet  
limited to the maxed 3GB RAM on the T60.


 AA>> adjusted (aligned) partitions, the SSD should have very few
 AA>> issues operating without TRIM.

 SM> I won't argue.

I will report!  The SSD should arrive on Friday.  I just forgot  
to order an external USB/SATA connector.  So.. the initial  
cloning won't occur until about a week later now.
