Tech, I am seriously thinking of adding an external SSD hard drive to my traditional HDD internal system, because the external SSD would be more versatile. I'm not actually planning to REPLACE or SUBSTITUTE the SSD for the HDD, just supplement it. My ASUS internal drive would still be my "prime." My desktop computer specs are above.
Questions:
1.) Any reasons why this is not feasible? Will a new SDD work OK?
2.) Thinking of getting at least a 1 terabyte, or twice my internal drive. Do-able? Or put too much strain on my desktop?
I have a whole bunch of documents, picture files and videos that I have on often-unwrite-able CD-R discs from many years past. Many of these
records/pic/vids/documents are from at least 10 years ago, or even earlier. A flash drive I have used recently refused to accept many (but, not all) of these files.
File System is FAT 32, I believe, on this flash PNY 32GB. Read somewhere that I needed to create an INTERNAL file within the flash drive and try to get my old files into IT.
3.) But, if choose to go with the SSD external drive, will I have to perform the same process of creating Internal files to get these older documents copied?
And, the flash drive also told me it could no longer accept any more jpgs after I had loaded a whole bunch-I guess there's a limit to how many files of a certain type
can be loaded onto it. Not sure why.
4.) Is there a limit on how many file types a new SDD will accept? I probably have about 10 to 15 gigs in all of files and such. But, I also may want to transfer
operational programs as well, before my hard drive goes. I've had this desktop since about 2013/2014, I'd say.
