Boy we sure do many things the same way. Although I have delayed longer
on my older machines to SSD and I just started recently. And they are
going to all get 120GB SSD I believe for now. I was a bit concern about
an SSD on this machine in particular, since it also has a TV tuner
connected and does a far amount of TV recording sometimes. Although
monitoring the lifetime writes, I don't think I'll hit the limit for at
least 10 years. Plus it won't be long before this one is cloned and
replaced with another SSD anyway. Maybe 256GB next time around.

I take it that the two of you cloners (I agree cloning's better than
backing up if you can afford all the extra drives) always swap the
drives, i. e. remove and store the drive you cloned from and install the
clone, whenever you do it - as a (quick and dirty, see next post) way of
ensuring the clone is successful.

When you do this, and the drive you are putting into storage is an SSD,
do you label it with how much life it has left?

A good pun is its own reword.
