If you're willing to concede on the desktop part, I have several DELL
5420's I recently decommissioned from a business office. I'll sell it to
you for $120. It'll run Linux perfectly, Windows 10 adequately, and
probably even Windows 11.

https://www.westechrecyclers.com/contact/   I have used them for over 8
years and always been happy. Most desktops have ram and no HDD but at
checkout you can pick the drive and ram
if you want more than is installed desktops start at 10 with free kn and
mouse and power cord. pick your monitor and other options are easy video
cards head sets cameras printers and save with a bundle

That's where I got my computers from for years until I finally got my brand new 
desktop with thread ripper from AMD and can run Linux or Windows 11 if I want 
to but sticking with linux.

thanks for turning me on to
supp...@gkeys24.com
I made a mistake though. I didn't bookmark the page. Would someone provide
me with the home page to the windows keys?

Wide range of prices for same capacity SSDs

2023-09-13 Thread Jim via PLUG-discuss
I'm thinking of getting a 2TB SSD for my home directory on my linux 
box.  I currently have a 1TB SSD for /home/user and a 2TB HDD for media 
I keep in my home directory, pictures, music files, etc.  I originally 
had everything on a 2TB HDD but moved everything but the media to an 
SDD.  To simplify things, I want to put it all on the same drive, only 
this time an SSD.


I've seen a  wide range of prices for 2TB SSDs.  One samsung drive was 
$130.  Another was $233. The site had a PNY SSD for $65.  I saw several 
more from brands that are shared with RAM, in the $60 to $70 range.  The 
descriptions for each suggest the read and write speeds are similar.   
Other than the brand, what are the differences between a $60 or $70 2TB 
SSD and a $250 2TB SSD?



Thank you.
