Thread: Share SSD between 2 Computers?

i have desktop pc ssd , plan on buying laptop. buying ssd expensive me , got used speed of ssd.

idea share ssd between 2 computers, switching in , out everytime use 1 of them. question now, however, how best that.

@ moment have 10gb linux partition (i think ext-something) , 100 gb ntfs partition windows , windows programs/data on it.

ideal me if use same partition both pcs have same programs , configuration , everything, problematic both require different drivers. possible put in "branches" load stuff depending on computer detected?

or better create 2 more partitions, 1 laptop ubuntu , 1 shared data. or move shared data (my home folder) ntfs partition, shrink desktop ubuntu partition 5 mb , create second partition laptops ubuntu. have in gui , os twice (for example have terminal background). there done links? possible on boot automate computer uses partition? don't want have choose in boot manager in each boot.

best course of action me here?

my initial inkling windows not going let first 1 - won't run usb device without lot of help, had use esata banish windows little black box.

in terms of ease i'd having 2 partitions easiest, of course problem windows vista/7 damn space hungry don't want carve more space have to.

option live distro - whole point of these boot on hardware - called frugal instal - sort of copying cd hdd, when run on new machine, detects hard ware , boots ram. there lot of these around more people have 512 ram , above (so can use them more basics), , personal choice!

can't testify getting distro ubuntu recognise 2 machines, because don't know, can foresee headache - i've had issues when graphics card failed , ubuntu set use card not integrated graphics, i'm sure others know answer!

edit give idea of choice - did search live medium distros on distro watch returned 193 results! of these not fit purpose, puppy , slax distro's i've used lot of success. in instance of puppy sure check out 'spin offs' or puplets - quite interesting, remember 1 designed gaming came packed every emulator imaginable!
