Are these Mini-PCs any good? In case you have one, any recommendation on which to get? - Web page 3

And now my subsequent step is mentally making ready for the arrival of the Beelink mini PC which is able to arrive in about 3 days.

The first factor I used to be contemplating earlier than putting in any software program or information was to partition the 1 TB SSD to about 300GB on C Drive (for OS and applications) and go away the remainder as D (for information).

However been studying up on it and supposedly you needn’t partition SSDs anymore, as was executed up to now on HDDs as insurance coverage towards a virus or OS failure that might wipe out all of your information.

Is that true now, with SSDs? As a result of some recommend it is nonetheless a good suggestion to partition your information, even tho partitioning an SSD is not going to assist in different areas, similar to rushing up information entry and many others, prefer it did on HDDs.

However I nonetheless really feel like doing the partition anyway for information solely. It may’t damage, proper?

On the Acer I partitioned the HDD to 50-50 after I received it.
I presently solely have 229 GB on C, and 315 GB on D.
So I believe I manner over did it on C Drive with a 500 GB partition!

Then as soon as the partition factor is sorted out, I am fascinated about backups,
and contemplating putting in a 2nd inner 1TB SSD for day by day automated (stay?) backups.

Would proceed with the occasional backups to Ex-HHDs (rotating between a number of of them) however focusing totally on backing up solely sure folders from D, like Paperwork and Desktop solely, since I hardly ever add to music or photographs nowadays. And people are very giant folders to be consistently replicating them to Ex-HDs like I have been doing for years.

So my plan is to do one full backup of the 1 TB SSD as soon as I’ve all of the applications put in and the info copied from the Acer to Beelink. Then sooner or later not do full backups each time as I have been doing for years now.

And that 2nd SSD put in contained in the Beelink could be a relentless ongoing again up anyway.

So does that sound like a plan?
