Parrot OS Switch to Portable SSD Benefits/Methods/Advice
by bbam400 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6K7KM)
(I have a few screenshots showing my OS/hardware/software info and relevant specifications of devices and cant figure out how to add them to this post, Ive asked this same question in a reddit forum and posted them in the comments there, so Ill add a link to the reddit post if anyone wants to look, or I can copy any output from any commands anyone asks for here as well) I have an older Dell Precision M4700 with 32gb RAM, i7, and 500gb HDD. I just purchased a new SanDisk 1TB portable SSD, and what I want to determine is if its worth it to either move or copy all of my OS and personal data Im using on my laptop currently over to the portable SSD, and if so what is the easiest and quickest method to go about doing that. Will the speed or performance increase running everything off of the new portable SSD be so drastic that its worth switching everything over to it at all? Or should I just leave everything how it is on my HDD and use the SSD for storage overflow for media or something? I know its supposed to be much better performance with a SSD either beside or instead of HDD installed in the laptop itself, but is that the same with the portable? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much! https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquesti..._portable_ssd/
