[dba-Tech] clean up

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Arthur

SSD drives come in the normal 2½” form factor with SATA-600 or -300 interface.
They are in every practical way a direct replacement for spinning drives.

They also come in special or newer form factors like mSATA, not used by spinning drives, but these are for laptops and pads.

I know almost nothing about SSD drives, including whether or not my boxes
can support one such. What does it fit into? a) on a laptop, and b) on a
tower? I have a Dell Inspiron laptop and have no idea whether it can handle
an SSD drive. What sort of port am I looking for?
