A day late...
Nov. 3rd, 2020 12:55 pm2000-11-02 Astronauts man ISS for first time. It has been continuously occupied ever since.
Nov. 3rd, 2020
sort of upgrade time again
Nov. 3rd, 2020 05:18 pmDrive C is failing. this will be the second or third time for this system.
Since all the previous drives have been used, I decide to not only get a *new* drive to replace it, but go whole hog and get an SSD drive. Going to be a 500 gig drive (because 320 isn't a "normal" size for an SSD).
That also means replacing drive D, because I use that to make file-by-file backups of drive C.
Small SSD drives are ridiculously cheap these days. SATA drives are even cheaper. I think I'm paying $60 for one and $20 the other. The SSD is supposed to be here Thursday. I'm gonna try to hold out until then.
If worse comes to worst, I've got another used drive I can swap in, but I'd rather avoid moving the system and opening it up as much as I can,
