SSD
Burkingam:
+1
And I should add, If you are on linux, using a USB flash card is perhaps more appealing than a SSD. It's slower because it's limited to the USB speed but random access has the same speed , it's a lot less expensive and it's awesome to be able to bring your main around in your wallet. For Windows though, a SSD is nice.
I predict that SSD should make HDD obsolete before the end of the decade when prices will be even.

let them discover how the brain stores all that 9999x9999 res+almost infinite bit rate 60hz video of years in length(aka memories). then even an SSD will become obsolete.

I agree on that statement.
I have been meaning to do that for a while I just put Ubuntu as a virtual machine and i am starting to mess around with it.
I could find it useful when wiping a clients computer or getting a stubborn virus out, to have an OS on a usb stick I should look into it.

Looks like a nice premise for a scfi novel but in real life, brain memory tend to forget.

You should totally look for ClamAv. It's a free/libre antivirus compatible with linux. It's mostly used to find Windows viruses since Linux has very few but if your job is to repair computers, having linux+clamav on a stick can be a very valuable tool.

Thank you for the tip I have a spare 16 gig usb stick I will give it a go. It is not really my job but word of mouth is a hell of a thing.
