ASUS G550 rebooted

My ASUS G550 has been given a new lease on life with a SSD and the following Linux command:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc bs=64K conv=noerror,sync status=progress

The old HDD has been removed, the new SSD placed in, and everything seems to be working fine. Next is to delete the stuff on the old HDD and use it as a portable external disk.

Just an update on the ASUS G770 replaced with a SSD: it is outstanding. Simply outstanding. For everyone thinking about replacing an old high-spec computer, my recommendation is to save some money by changing the HDD to a SSD.
