    .. A SSD is designed for heavy R/W usage; a SD card
    not so much. I think you'd be fine with a quality brand-name
    SSD. I'm replacing the 500GB drive in this laptop with a
    500GB SSD; no moving parts.

    Hello Sean!

    How's the 500GB SSD replacement going?

    I've just ordered a refurbished T540p (W7pro, and lower-cost i5 generation processor) with a 1TB SDD. I tend to need a numeric keypad a lot so the one built in will be quite nice.

    My T60 Thinkpad (XP) was creeping out of space on C: with only 2.5GB free. :(
    I deleted old files in $NTinstall and $PatchCache$ and gained about 3GB.

    Then, the idea is to transfer the programs from the T60 to the T540p with Laplink.

    Then, the next step might be to replace the modest 230gb HDD in the T60 with at
    least a 500gb SSD, (hoping that the SSD will help extend the battery usage that
    I sometimes need) and then replace the XP on it with Linux Mint which performed
    beautifully in live-cd mode.
