Hey (and anyone else with an opinion): I'm looking for a tablet to do nothing more than read (and annotate) PDFs. I seem to recall you have a Fire of some sort. Would you recommend a Fire 7? Can you see less than a whole page on the screen at a time? I need the larger font size.

Yup, that'll probably be it.

Yup, that's what said too. But they're already going to a 3TB Time Capsule.

They currently go to a Time Capsule; cannot see any need to change.

I plumped for a 1Tb SSD so I could basically just mirror the whole of the internal drive. The only gotcha, so far, is having to tell Dropbox where it should go now.

I also need to think what I want to do with the internal. I suppose a partition with a minimal bootable drive would be sensible, just in case. But what else?

Creating an external SSD boot drive

Just used my last piece of Sugru to finish the job.

That move to an SSD went far more smoothly than I have any right to expect. Cloned overnight with CCC, change name of startup disc, change name of SSD to old startup disk name, change startup disk and here we are, travelling at the speed of electrons.

Now, what to do with the old internal spinning disks?

There's an app for that.
