Suggestions For Using An Extra SSD (or two)
I recently upgraded my 80GB Intel X25-M SSD to a 128GB Crucial M4. It's a long story, but I also have come into possession of a second 80GB Intel X25-M. I originally planned on using the old Intel SSDs as boot drives in my two spare computers.
The thing is, my spare computers are not really used for anything which would benefit much from an SSD. One has two printers and a scanner attached and also contains a couple of spare storage drives where I stash my belt-and-suspenders backups. (I have a large drive in my main computer which serves as my primary backup location.) The other computer basically serves as a fancy mp3 player in my living room. Neither gets rebooted except in case of a power failure or when it's required by Windows Update.
It seems a shame to use a couple of nice SSDs in machines which really don't need them. What I would really like to do is put them to good use in my main rig.
I am looking for creative ideas for speeding up my main computer using one or both of the 80GB spares I have. Any suggestions would be welcome. :)
