brolin_empeyWhat does “EUC” mean in the context of a used microwave oven for sale?16:38
ginggsexcellent used condition?17:04
brolin_empeyMaybe, had not thought of that.17:10
brolin_empeyI received the order of KingSpec mSATA SSDs today (Tuesday) but have not yet received the 2.5-inch SATA drive cases for the mSATA SSDs.19:40
brolin_empeyApparently the controller used by these mSATA SSDs, at least the 1-TB model, is SM2258XT, if that makes a difference.  I do not know if the XT part is part of the controller name.19:43
brolin_empeyApparently the XT part is part of the name of the controller.19:48
brolin_empeyAt least for the 1-TB model, the drive has three bright blue LEDs on the side of the board without the label stuck on.  Apparently the BIOS on the Asus K8N desktop motherboard from 2004 correctly detects this drive even though the SATA host controller integrated on this motherboard is only SATA 1.5 Gib/s without automatic negotiation capability.  Apparently Debian GNU+Linux 7 has finished booting from the 2-TB 2.5-inch SATA HDD I plan to manually clone onto20:14
brolin_empeythis 1-TB mSATA SSD.  So everything seems good so far.20:14

brolin_empeyApparently one of these LEDs blinks when writing to the drive.  I started the rsync wet/non-dry run to copy the contents of the file system from the HDD to the new mSATA SSD.22:08
brolin_empeyI started automagically cloning a 1-TB 2.5-inch SATA hybrid HDD onto a 1-TB mSATA SSD with HDClone on my office computer running Windows 10, with one drive connected via eSATA and the other drive connected via SuperSpeed USB 3.22:34
