I bought SSD drive to my laptop, so I decided to minimize write I/O on my system. The less writing is a good idea even you have a HDD. Your system become faster in this way.
There are some good starting point:
I had a real Linux server system that I need to convert into virtual server, because I wanted to sell my old hardware, but I needed the system as backup. This backup is able to run as virtual server. This is a very useful backup method. This tutorial show you how you can convert your whole system into virtualbox system. Virtualbox is a free opensource virtual computer solution from Oracle.
If you can, put your system disk to another computer. But if you can't do it you can do it the original system.
Check active scsi devices:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsscsi
[1:0:1:0] disk ATA SAMSUNG HD103SJ 1AJ1 /dev/sda
[2:0:0:0] disk ATA SAMSUNG HD103SJ 1AJ1 /dev/sdb
[3:0:0:0] cd/dvd HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH22NS90 HN00 /dev/sr0
[5:0:0:0] disk Generic STORAGE DEVICE 9451 /dev/sdd
[6:0:0:0] disk GT-I5700 - Card /dev/sdc Now refresh SCSI devices. Use this command to refresh host0 (or host1, host2, host3):
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ echo "- - -" | sudo tee -a /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan Check the result:
I have a client who bought an ASUS K55VD laptop. This laptop is coming with Windows 8. But my client had bought a windows 7. So He wanted to use this windows 7 on his new laptop. I had another task. I had to change the HDD to SSD. It sounds easy, doesn't it?
I have never seen UEFI BIOS before. I did not think this will be a challenge for me. I tell the truth I wasted a lot of time to install the OS.
I found a very fast and easy to use online storage solution. My free dropbox account was too small for backing up my files. I mostly backup my most important files with dropbox online storage, but the 2Gb too small for me. I saw the dropbox pro pricing that was almost $10 for 100GB. When I found the it was less than $10 for unlimited storage. I think it is good offer to me.
