Hi

What if I install Windows into a 128-gig m.2-2242 SSD for my laptop?

Hi,
I am running a HDD in the DVD-caddy of my Thinkpad (T440P). The MB/s seems really low.

Is this because I have the drive in a DVD-caddy? Would it be faster in the main drive bay?

You are right, it is only smbv1. So using the router for backup is a bad option.

I don't like to have to plug-in external-USB-drive every day. I want a network-solution.

I think you can have a better experience if you run in Tablet Mode.

And for your browser, use Full Screen Mode (F11).

I think Windows software is not tailored for small screen.
