You have 10 seconds to explain why you don't have a 2nd SSD in your laptop.
Because I have an LTE modem in my second mPCIe slot
>>54303242
I have a 250gb msata sdd as my OS drive and a 500gb hard drive as my data storage drive. The spinning rust is dying so i am going to replace it with a 500gb 850 evo probably.
>>54303242
It doesnt support one in any way.
>>54303242
Because instead I've an additional battery in my notebook besides.. I don't need a second ssd because my I got a 1 TB SSD
I have 2 SD cards... does that count?
1 in the reader, 1 in an expresscard adapter.
>>54303242
Because my x230 has only one 2,5 inch bay and the mSATA slot is already occupied by wwan card (which I need).
Ultradock is fat and not mobile at all.
>>54303349
also 240GB Intel SSD is already too big for my demands.
If I'll ever need more storage I'll just get myself a nice home server with lots of storage space.
>>54303242
Because I am not a poorfag with an outdated laptop.
Also the fuck would you need more than the usual 256-512GB on a laptop?
>>54303362
because most people of /g/ use their laptops as main and only PCs?
>>54303242
x200 only supports one
don't these caddys bottleneck the ssd? even the ones that claim they're sata 3 seem to slow down the ssd.
also how common is it for a laptop to use a sata 3 slot for its dvd drive, i honestly don't know.
>>54303373

That's pretty sad, but answers the question.
>>54303373
>>54303398
also ultradock + ultrabay hdd caddy
>>54303344
How? Curious what types of laptops allow for that configuration...
>>54303387
I wouldnt think that they would. You can notice a difference even with sata 2 speeds anyways.
>>54303387
>don't these caddys bottleneck the ssd? even the ones that claim they're sata 3 seem to slow down the ssd.
No, that's nonsense.
>>54303405
Why is it sad?
Most sane people don't need $5000 gayming machines to shitpost on /g/ and learn to program
>>54303242
Everything on the cloud.
>>54303422
You mean private cloud?
>>54303411
Thinkpads..https://support.lenovo.com/de/de/documents/pd024289
>>54303242
Because I don't have a 1st SSD either
>>54303433
Damn that's cool. Not being familiar with their product line(s) is that a modern design that is still being used/supported? Would be curious for my next notebook.
Does it support other cool stuff like a GPU to be plugged into there? I remember a different Lenovo laptop had the ability for 2-way SLI with a swappable GPU in that port.
Thanks!
>>54303427
Public.
>>54303417
"Need" is a tricky word, mate. Most people don't need anything above a shitty atom netbook, yet using better hardware makes things more enjoyable/faster. Connecting/disconnecting dock/screen every time you want to use it, sounds annoying too.
>>54303448
That's just wrong. Even a shitty 50-60 bucks SSD would be a huge upgrade.
>>54303465
Gay.
kys
>>54303413
how's it nonsense? optical drives typically use sata II so they'd slow down an ssd no matter what type of caddy you use. plus most of these things seem to be cheaply made plastic shit from china, only seen a few metal ones. wouldn't be surprised if they used a shit quality bridge that would slow the drive since you can buy them and get them sent to america for the same price of a mini-sata to sata cable in the u.s.
>>54303475
Economies of scale dude. Public is just way cheaper than private and if you're really that bothered you can encrypt everything before you chuck it up there.
>>54303474
No desu familia, I need modern mobile i7 because I want good performance adequate to my needs. I don't need desktop gaymur pc because I don't want inadequate resources to my needs.
Pure logic. My ThinkPad x230 serves me well, especially with ssd.
>>54303451
In the newest line of machines, I think only the W series support Ultra Bay stuff because the T series have become much thinner and don't have an Ultra Bay anymore.
I don't think anyone is going to produce Ultra Bay GPUs anymore because modern machines do have a thunderbolt port now which is being used for external GPUS now.
>>54303474
>>54303495
also I'm young and I save everything I earn for my new house. Spending $2000 on unused gaymur machine is not a wise idea, especially considering my earnings.
>>54303417
most people without a home server should get the fuck off /g/ and run back along to /b/ like the faggot that they are
>>54303242
Because I have a HDD in there and don't even really need that.
>>54303481
First of all you said "even if it has SATA3 and if it has SATA3 it's not going to be bottlenecked unless you're talking about PCIE/M.2 ssd's which only give you higher sequential reading/writing speeds. But SATA3 is SATA3 and the only thing that would bottleneck an SATA3 ssd would be a very bad SATA controller or an old Intel Atom processor lel..
>>54303370
>because most people of /g/ use their laptops as main and only PCs
Not true anon.
A fair chunk of /g/ uses laptops for their main, but not MOST.
>>54303242
>x2 NVMe SSD
yep
>>54303517
Why?
How not having a home server makes me a faggot?
You o realize most people have friends and social life, right? I don't need a home server to give myself a purpose to live, like all these neckbeards of /g/ who are desperately trying to find something to do.
>>54303542
ok kid ;)
>>54303474
>That's just wrong. Even a shitty 50-60 bucks SSD would be a huge upgrade.
It's 5 years old, I don't plan on spending any money on it
And I barely use it anyway.
My desktop has one though
>>54303509
Fair enough, saving up for house is a pretty good reason to spend minimally on other things.
>>54303542
W-what if you use your laptop as main but not only PC?
>>54303548
>friends
>social life
i won't tell you again, anon. this board is not for you
>>54303567
Really?
I thought /g/ is "Technology", not "Technology for toxic antisocial people".
>>54303567
/g/ is not fucking /r9k/, just because people here still use Chinkpads doesn't mean they never touched a boob.
Not having a home server is still pretty lame though.
>tfw PATA only
installing a SSD would take some serious hardware modding and even if it works the benefit is very limited
Because the only extra storage my Chromebook 2 has is a class 10 128gb MicroSD card.
>My T420 is collecting dust on my shelf.
>>54303242
Battery life. Plus I can afford a higher capacity SSD.
>>54303242
because you're all opinionated jackasses
>>54303606
PATA to CF adapter. It "only" brings you up to HDD speeds, but at least no spinnan rust.
>>54303242
because my ultrabay has a 1TB hard drive in it.
get mad.
>>54303451
Ideapads have Ultrabay GPUs, though they require a massive power brick for the SLI config.
because my secondary drive is a 1TB HDD for storage space. What kind of hoser would add a second SSD?
>>54303242
in general, can i buy a regular sized ssd (2.5 is it?) and install it? or does it have to be an msata one?
>>54304493
Most laptops only have one 2.5-inch slot, but some also have a spot for mSATA. A lot of oversized gaming laptops have dual 2.5 drives slots
>>54303242
because i have an x230
>You have 10 seconds to explain why you don't have a 2nd SSD in your laptop.
Firstly, because it physically can't have one.
Secondly, because my laptop sits beside my bed waiting for me to get the urge in the middle of the night to jack off. That's 90% of its function.
I only need 128Gb
>>54303242
i dont hoard data and reinstall my OS most weeks so totally pointless
>>54303242
Because I have a Mac Pro.
>>54303242
>Laptop
I saw TF100TA for 100 €, maybe I'm going to buy one soon if it drops below 100
Because instead, I thought I'd go the ultrabay battery route. Problem is, I was an idiot and didn't check to see that it works with the T420s, not my T420. My T420 board doesn't even have a port to connect to said battery.
>>54303242
I don't have a laptop.
>>54303242
I do, but I didn't have to remove my dvd drive to do it.
>Implying I don't have
Best decision ever.
>>54303242
because chibi x201
>>54303242
Because I don't have a laptop in the first place.
>>54303242
Because I have a Lenovo yoga 700. Best I can do is get myself a bigger M.2 SSD.
If I bothered, I could order a Samsung 950 PRO and put it in my X1 Carbon.
Why should I, though?
>>54306285
My nigga
>>54306285

nigger.
pic rel is x230.

What do you mean, senpai?
What's a cheap chink HDD caddy
>>54306609

I like my x201 light, comfy and mobile, senpai
