Though I've read that the data centre chips are mostly optimised for data centres and aren't really what you want for consumer goods. The problem they're creating is sucking up all the capacity at chip manufacturers.
I may have to bite the bullet and buy a new external hard drive. I ought to anyway for general backup, quite apart from "is the internal hard drive about to die?" Time to go and pester Spousal Unit for a professional opinion on what to buy.
Also seriously considering a Blu-ray drive for "Try and wipe this after moving everything to cloud behind my back, Microsoft" purposes, but it is so long since I read computer mags for fun that I have no idea what the practicalities are.
