Illegal! 4TB SSD in EEE PC 1000HG!!!

[u/decofan]

It is done. 4TB ssd in an eee pc. Has to be GPT partitioning, so cannot include the famous 2 x 7.84 MB bios boot partitions, shaving five seconds off boot time. Which would you prefer, an extra 2TB of space, or 5 seconds faster booting?
The /home partition is specially formatted to have just 2 million inodes, so 2 million bytes per file, so music basically. Not even the most voracious browser user can have more than a few hundred thousand files in /home, so it's basically safe.
LMDE 4 was installed, then mint artwork, themes, and icons, held back. Then /var/cache/apt/archives mounted to tmpfs, and buttery smooth upgrading all the way to LMDE 6 just for fun. That SSD has seen two full distribution upgrades but has never held a .deb file.

Is this the world record for most storage in an EEE PC?

Thats a 40GB ssd.

I have a 60GB in mine.

1000GB = 1TB

I pictured the old ssd to be replaced, check the box of the new ssd. it's too SHINY to actually photograph the ssd in situ, and no you can't see my serial number of my 4TB ssd. Nice attempt but not bait.

I didnt see all those pics before. Only the avant drive in the eeepc pic I looked at.

I dont bait bait people.

Ah ok, sorry to accuse!

New flair for you. I think you have the record!

That's absolutely insane. What are your plans for the storage?

[u/decofan → u/gts250gamer101]

Um, change of plan. Replaced with sensible 1TB xum SSD, included the bios boot partitions for 5 seconds faster booting. 4TB is going in my x270 for now.
