Thanks, Scott
Have now upgraded Intel Toolbox from 3.3.0 to 3.3.3 and tuned the SSD. Will schedule DisClean and Error Checking monthly before offsite Backup. Have also switched of Defrag.
Apparently, I also hit one of those optical drive anomolies with Acronis and HP. But the USB ThumbDrive version of the Bootable Media worked fine so all is well, I think!
Here are some updates photos:
The first shows HP Cradle or Carrier Part # 671193-001 (left) plus (right) the Intel SSD screw mounted on the 3.5/2.5 inch Adaptor part # 654540-001. The four pins on the blue lugs on the Carrier snap into the holes on the Adaptor to mount same. You can see that the Carrier is only half height. Presumably the other Carrier part # 671192-001 is full height and has two sets of these four lugs to mount two x 2.5 inch drives.
This shows the SSD in the Adaptor mounted in the Carrier part # 671193-00, but still sitting on my desk.
The SSD in the Adaptor in the Carrier now reinstalled in the computer.
Its not quite one-size-fits-all; I still cannot install a second drive, SSD or HDD, in the half height Carrier.
Now with a couple of days experience with the SSD I must agree that every workstation booting off a HDD should actually be converted over to SSD now. In fact, every computer should convert - they are just so much faster. However, there is probably still a role for bulk data storage, especially videos, music and photos, on HDD whils everyone still has HDD's lying around and until SSD's drop further in price.
Thanks again
Tom
PS: I had an email about the spelling of my name and it relates back to my very elderly mother who absolutely hates it being truncated - "We did not name you with that abomination....." - so when she is hovering and in the interest of world peace I include the "h". No one else does.
