One more piece. There’s nothing really wrong with the HP SSD I’m currently using, but the Sammy’s seem to be quite a bit quicker. I guess I’m starting to fall down that benchmarking r abbit hole. I had a large credit at Newegg so I figured, why not?
WhenI checked my email this morning I found that they put the same drive on sale, a day after I bought it. But like I recently learned with Costco, sometimes, if you ask, you can get the difference refunded to you. That’s normal procedure at Costco, and they had no problem giving me money back. After waiting through a queue of 72 people I got N ewegg to give me the money back on this drive. Sometimes all you need to do is ask, and if your request is reasonable you might just get what you want.

This reminds me I need to buy a SSD for a Linux project I want to do.

Think the one I slapped in my....”weather” HP laptop is a Sandisk. It’s no slouch. God willing I will NEVER go back to normal hard drives. I just wish I got a bigger one.

Newegg nearly tricked me into buying an Intel 2TB M. 2 stick, by making it ~$200. But really, I’ve got 1TB and 750GB SSDs sitting in my old machine, and I really just need to get around to cleaning those off so I can move them to the PC I’m using now.

you don’t get it if you don’t ask
