Everyone, My Dell Insperon 15.6" that I was going to use in school this September just died (the Motherboard no longer recognized the Hd). Are you sure it is not just a bad hard drive? Will it boot from a DVD or USB drive? Bill I need reliability & durability more than anything. I'll need it to last at least 1 year. I'll be going to school for Software Engineering & Embedded systems e.g. HTML, Perl, Unix, etc, etc. I was thinking about replacing it with a Lenovo ThinkPad T570: 15.6" display 32 GB DDR4 2133Mhz SoDIMM Ram For the hard drive they show : Intel 180GB SSD 2.5 SATA3,OPAL2.0 or 512 GB SSD OPAL2.0 PCle-NVMe (The 1 Tb version is $140 more.) Q: What is the difference between SATA3,OPAL2.0 & PCle-NVMe? As an OS I'll probably be running Linux Mint, I just don't have time to tinker with new operating bases at this point.
