1	It was nice to have a newer "hot backup" (XPS8940) to switch over to
2	quickly when an older machine started locking up occasionally. Now I
3	need a "hot backup" for the newer machine that I ordered last October.
4	Dell Inspirons seem to top out at 12 gigs ram, so I'm looking for an XPS
5	model in order to get more ram as the bloating of linux continues. All
6	current XPS models seem to have 256G or 512G M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State
7	drives in the base configuration. Questions...
8
9	* do NVMe drives function well under Gentoo (driver issues, etc)?
10
11	* how long do they hold up (wear and tear)?
12
13	* can I simply disable them if I run into problems?
14
15	If someone can suggest an alternate supplier to Dell, that ships to
16	greater Toronto, at similar prices, I'd be willing to take a look at
17	them.

21	I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
