But is it possible to still get an SSD one?

Googling IDE SSD suggests that the answer is 'yes'!

Yes, but why? The dated bus cripples an ssd.

I fear the current hard drive may be on its way out, after only 18 years. Looking at replacements before it does go.

Lol, thats not bad usage. Thinking about it, when i got rid of my last HDD a couple of years ago (a 100gb Hitachi) that must have been over 15 yrs old, still worked fine.

Good grief, what are you using that still has an IDE drive? And on what OS? Kudos for extending its life, but you must be able to cook a meal between 'on' and 'ready'!

A Dell Optiplex, Window XP Pro.

Wow. Hope you're behind a decent firewall and AV if using on line! Xp was always good though.

Nothing happened so far virus/threat wise.
Maybe I've just been lucky.
Large format printers bought at a liquidation auction(costly at £2.50 & £44). Three and five figure sums to replace them.

My laptop is using Windows 10. Windows Explorer seems to be slow to reindex so results are not up to date. For example, files that I have edited today are still showing as having been changed on December 17th!
I tried turning indexing off, clearing the index, and rebooting the machine but that didn't help. Any suggestions?

Thanks, but no...
However... I just noticed that the folder's file entries were displaying the date of creation, rather than the date modified!
I have set it to display both now and all seems well.

One thing that annoys me about Windows... why can't it display 'date last opened' for a file?
Just so I know if I've listened to that podcast, or watched that TV show.
