So I went down to the local business supply and got another disk drive and set it on the table in my bedroom. Before too long I was champing at the bit to go ahead and place it in the box and get it all installed and up and running.
The nature of the beast is fairly straightforward from a standpoint of installing software then overwriting control files with the ones in use previously and that's pretty much what I did.
Following a brief foray into installing incorrect secure socket and transport layer security stacks I got with the program and was up in two shakes.
After the successful install, copy, and various tweaking which went down there is nothing more gratifying than watching a new install take charge and get rolling.
So here I sit with two boxes having fresh identical OS and app configurations installed on new disk drives that don't have that inherent write limit of an ssd.
Solid state disk drives are fine and dandy for sure. I also understand their speed increases HOWEVER there comes a time when ongoing maintenance becomes more important.
