Don't worry. Be happy.The problem is that i can't trust in any supplier. I prefer to trust in customers . So I am delaying the decission until I find a really understanding customer.Sorry if I sound a little harsh (and I may be repeating myself...), but why are you asking for approval (that's what it sounds like to me, instead of advice), and already order the goods without waiting for or taking any of the tips you can have here?-Contro (February 27, 2019, 04:53 PM)
If that's you way of proceeding, then just tell us what you bought, including photos, and why,Spoilerwithout cluttering the forum with endless rants and irrelevant info.

Be very careful about buying cheap storage (hard drives, ssd, sd cards, flash drives, etc.) especially if they are advertised as having a high capacity. Even if it appears to be a reputable brand. They may not be as advertised, and you might not find out till later, when you lose your data.Ejem....
A lot of these drives are actually small capacity, and have firmware that erroneously reports them as being much larger than they really are, and copying files to it just loops around when it's full, and overwrites older files, without your knowledge, causing major file corruption.
And manufacturers don't honor warranties on counterfeits of their products, so you won't even get a replacement when it fails.
And if you think you are safe buying them from Amazon, just know that the same merchants that are selling this crap on Wish, Aliexpress, Ebay, etc. also sell it on Amazon and other sites. (always buy a reputable brand, sold and shipped by Amazon, themselves, to avoid the counterfeits and scams)-app103 (March 02, 2019, 03:45 PM)
Hardware in laptops is pretty set during the design period and in 99.9% of cases cannot be altered once production has started.I am trying the 2 TB SSD drive for the laptop
The hardware parts in the laptop have their physical limitations and some imposed by not willing or being able to get licensing right for certain functionality in the hardware parts. There is also expectation of the manufacturer. Most people don't have/want hardware support for the latest/greatest hardware, if that means that they have to pay (a lot) more for laptops. And as laptops prices are always a fight to the bottom, whatever the manufacturer can skimp on, they will.
2 TByte as max storage capacity means they can save quite some money on licensing/patents etc. On a general note: 10 TByte drives are more intended for use in desktops/servers, not laptops. Servers/desktops have more options to get rid of excessive heat. Something that laptops by definition have not. Besides that, 10 TByte storage in a laptop...never a good idea. Chances of data-loss or theft become way too high. And if you really have such huge files to process, you will be much more productive on a properly outfitted workstation than on any laptop.
As the forums say that you can use the drive, how do they mean that? The BIOS/UEFI hardware in your laptop may be limited to 2 TByte. So it may be the case that you cannot use all of the drive, or only have partitions on it that are limited to max 2 Tbyte. So regarding usability of 10 TByte drives in your Asus laptop, you better ask what is meant by being usable and if that fits with your expectations. Likely those are not matched.
Laptops, they are better than nothing....but not by much.

Files - Probably the safest with regards to finding what's taking space and giving you the control over what to archive/remove.I will download and comment.Files by Google is a file management app that helps you:
✨ Free up space with cleaning recommendations
🔍 Find files faster with search and simple browsing
↔️ Share files offline with others, fast and without data
☁️ Back up files to the cloud to save you space on device-4wd (March 02, 2019, 05:29 PM)
All the Android phones I have had access to (ranging from Android 5.x to 8.x) all connected just fine through USB and appeared as drives in Windows explorer where I could copy stuff from and to the phone without any special software on the phone or Windows.Thanks Shades.
The folder structure in an Android phone takes a bit of getting used to, but isn't difficult. Those were phones from brands Huawei, Samsung, Kyocera and a vague Chinese brand name that I forgot.
So you do not need o get/install software on your phone or computer. I am sure that there are pieces of software that make it a bit easier, but you can easily do without. On a side note, I did activate developer mode (an Android feature) on each of the phones.
Any gathers a lot of garbage quickly when taking photos and doing a bit of WhatsApp. These folders are easy to find and their content is quickly transferred to your computer, where that data can be included in your backup routine. You could store those photos online and access these when you want to show them through your phone to someone.-Shades (March 02, 2019, 01:17 PM)
Thanks 4wd . I assume is possible. I haven't received the supplier response yet.Somebody can tell me if the KingSpec 2.5 hdd SATA 3 SSD 2TB 2.5 hd Internal Solid State Drive For Laptop Computer can be used and installed in Asus X555LD ?
I am reading an article that says that SSD have the same size 2.5", but may vary in height.....-Contro (February 25, 2019, 04:39 PM)
2.5" drives are either 7mm (SSD, some HDD) or 9.5mm high, (HDD, old SSD - usually what you find in laptops).
Some SSD manufacturers supply a plastic spacer with the SSD to make up the 9.5mm height if required, (to stop it rattling and possibly ensure the SATA connector is at the right height - use a bit of cardboard).
Some 2.5" HDDs are 12.5mm in height, (multi-platter), only really see these in high capacity portable external storage.-4wd (February 26, 2019, 12:40 AM)
Are you a programmer ?
Have you ever tried InfoQube?Running to try.
It's been going through huge changes in the last year and more, well worth checking out.
Mindmapping is way down the list of what it can do, but there is some ability there.

It is an innovative way to view outlines, combining the free-form 2D layout and linking of concept maps with the expand / collapse features of grids"-tomos (February 25, 2019, 11:42 AM)
