It is actually a pocket drive, in other words, it came in a case and
doesn't require external power like many other drives do.
I have no idea who made the thing, but it works, and that's really all I
give a crap about anyway.

Subject: Re: Testing Linux distros
What you ought to do if you haven't done it already is buy an external
drive case for that kind of drive and put the drive in that case.
You can use the drive from inside the case connected to your computer and
the drive will have more protection that way.

I have a 1 tb external USB3 drive which I will use then. Unfortunately it's
not an SSD, but what can you do?

A guess, you're not using an extractable ssd on that machine. If correct,
can the machine boot off an external drive in a USB port? If not, you're
left with kemu and the like. If yes, and you can get a external ssd drive
with usb connection put the testing system on that drive and replace it
there as needed. That keeps your main drive separate and you can use that
for normal work. External drive holders for the older type of drives like
ide and sasi and scsi are also on the market though you'd need to get an
extra drive or two for the holder.

Hi all,
I am tired of having to reinstall my distro of choice every time I get fed
up
of testing one distro or another.
How would you go about testing if, like me, you only have the one Linux
capable machine? Yes, I know you can technically run some distros on the M1
MacBook, but, just, no thanks.
I really, for one, don't like the VMware thing, and virtualbox is a pain.
I'm thinking qemu with virtManager, but would like some input. This is how
I
run, only when really necessary, mind you, my production Windows.
Unfortunately I need it to do my work, so cannot kill the thing.
