*100% ditto* This is coming from someone operating at an extremely low income level: Buy the more expensive shtuff the first time 'round. Wait an extra month, two months, buy a few less impulse items beforehand, whatever it takes to afford it, but buy the better product. Cheap stuff is cheap for a reason. I'm sitting on a 2^64 - 1 partition right now because it was USB connected. Best as I can tell, dog f*rted, porch floor shook, and USB connection broke for a SPLIT SECOND while GRUB2 was installing anew. Chances are very good that would NOT have happened if I'd had a more stable setup.. After going through this several times lately, I think of it this way: $25 for a cheap part when better quality is $50. That cheap part WILL break and usually very soon. $25 DOWN THE DRAIN, boom, just like that when that same $25 could have gone towards that $50 part I now HAVE to buy anyway. Makes that $50 part now basically..... $75 with an increased potential for loss of critical data in the process. As always, YMMV. Good luck!
