Or use an external disk for doing exchanges. Mind, rotating rust speed can be in that range for some disks. 5400 rpm, connected via slow usb2...
I never suspected that this would get me into trouble but it did with a usb/sata adapter not working with disks that were not prepared using it so that a disk prepared in my desktop mobile tray cannot be plugged into the usb port of the laptop with a usb/sata adapter. I wonder why computers don't all have at least one external sata port? I do have a 128gb usb stick but may have to buy a large usb external drive.
ESATA ports went out of fashion maybe a decade ago. An external SSD disk in an USB3 enclosure could be just the thing. Just half a terabyte or one terabyte have an appropriate price. I use one to transfer files between two computers at different locations, and to keep files when travelling with my laptop. I do not trust sticks. For larger sizes, I use rotating rust. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
