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 getting ready for the arrival of the Beelink mini PC which can arrive in about 3 days.

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

However been studying up on it and supposedly you need not partition SSDs anymore, as was achieved up to now on HDDs as insurance coverage in opposition to a virus or OS failure that would wipe out all of your knowledge.

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

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

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

Then as soon as the partition factor is sorted out, I am interested by backups,
and contemplating putting in a 2nd inner 1TB SSD for each 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 not often add to music or pictures as of late. And people are very giant folders to be always 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 packages 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 can be a continuing ongoing again up anyway.

So does that sound like a plan?
