netritiouswrst: it was great18:31
wrstI would like to do it again this weekend :)18:32
netritiousthat would just be to much fun18:32
wrstha ha I would like to try and see :)18:33
netritious:)18:33
netritiouswow SSDs have gotten cheap(er)18:40
* wrst wishes netritious had not brought that to his attention18:41
netritiousaround the $0.50 per gigabyte18:42
wrstgetting much much better18:45
wrstI'm guessing eventually that will be the way even for large storage solutions?18:45
netritiousSSD? IDK. I don't think mechanical HDDs are going anywhere soon18:47
netritiousI guess it just depends on who is in charge of the IT budget18:49
netritioushow much stoarge do you need versus how much money can you spend18:49
netritiouswrst are you looking to upgrade?18:55
wrstnetritious: no I'm not I have a SSD in my laptop and a spinner for storage18:58
wrstbut more speed is always better :)18:58
netritiousah I'm upgrading my laptop from spinner to ssd18:58
wrstI replaced the optical drive with the old 640GB spinner and put a 120GB SSD in place of the spinner18:59
wrstso the optical drive is out for me18:59
netritiousonly SATAII on my laptop interface and drive is SATAIII, but whatever...beats spinner any day19:00
netritiousthat's a cool setup wrst19:00
wrston an older laptop but works well19:00
netritioushm wonder if I can do that19:00
wrstI'm sata II also19:00
wrstthey sale those adpaters as long as it is a SATA optical drive19:01
netritiousmine isn't new... refurb Dell E6410 but I like it19:02
wrstmine is a $499 special asus from about 3 or 4 years ago :)19:02
wrstI'm really thinking I might go with a macbook next time19:02
netritiousall my laptops were older than that. sold or gave them away and now have 3x E6410 for <$80019:03
wrstnice, I'm not seeing enough advances really that warrants buying tcomputer parts very often19:04
netritiousI am once again, after a fifteen year hiatus, trying to move my desktop to a notebook :S19:05
wrstha ha19:06
wrstI have no desktop any more19:06
wrstwell I have my old desktop running freenas19:06
netritiousI'm just tired of being tied to my desk, but I think the laptop with some upgrades will do ok as a replacement.19:08
netritiouswill also end up with spare parts for the other two laptops, and if my laptop dies, I can just move my ram and HDD.. unless it's the RAM or HDD that dies lol19:11
netritiouswith any luck this will be here today...  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1682014882119:13
netritiousthis is what sold me.... power consumption when active? 0.15W19:15
wrstsweet19:16
wrstvery nice19:16
netritiousthat and upgrading ram to 8GB, and will try to install qubes first. will see what happens from there.19:17
wrstI'm running 8GB of ram but a much smaller ssd but its very nice19:18
netritiousI like VM's, and a healthy dose of snapshots...on my desktop with 256GB SSD it's fast, but to small19:18
