It was you who suggested asking a MOD here. On TV???? I think that you are a very confused member of Asean Now. This was not a serious suggestion, obviouly. But, use your own judgement. It's just that some people on this Forum doubt the veracity of my comments. I am not here to prove every single little statement made by me. Believe or not believe, and this is ups to you. I have switched all my computers to openSUSE, and I am loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howto Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 FWIW; Those 'old' SAMSUNG PRO SSD's are likely SLC 1-level NAND or 2-level NAND. They will have a very long 'write' and 'data retention' life compared to newer <deleted>e. Very worthy of items as mentioned. Not in any NAS application. I do suggest running the Sammy mgmnt desktop app to check firmware ver (upgrade if needed), and see it's usage prior to further usage. I also have several. My 1 baht view.

Moncul Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 As others have said, useful to do an image backup of your system for disaster recovery. Or as a destination for Windows' paging and temporary files as a speedier alternative to HDDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayClay Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 On two lf them I would suggest you install Ventoy and a few of your favourite recovery ISOs/OS Live images so that you will always be able to at least boot your system no matter how hard the installed OS fails.

Can it handle installing from a Windows 11 .iso with the "security requirements" bypass like Rufus does? I like the idea of having multiple OS's on one drive though.

Maybe if you created a Windows 11 install with rufus, then created an iso image from the media you created with rufus then that might work. I haven't tried it, though. Also, my suggestion was multiple OS on two drives. Don't end up like me and find out that your recovery media is f*ed along with your computer 😭 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temporary files can, and should all be deleted with say Glary or similar. SSDs are a speedier alternative to HDDs ! Always do a System Restore backup onto a USB stick, a Recovery Media on another, a C drive backup onto another separate drive, which is then backed-up to the Cloud. Sorted.
