[nfbcs] Maybe OT: questions re: cloning drives

[Littlefield, Tyler]

That actually ddepends now. It's more expensive in terms of gb per 
dollar, but it's came down a lot in price. SSD drives aren't really for 
stoaring huge chunks of data, they're more for storing bits that need to 
be accessed frequently. So a common setup is to have the OS and programs 
on the SSD with all documents and etc on another platter drive.
