 This is a ThinkPad X220. It of course is one of the X series ThinkPads Which are supposed to be ultra portable ultra small So this is I don't know if you can get a good gauge or how big it is, but it's pretty portable I think it weighs at max even with the battery maybe around three pounds or so not much more than that But one of the things one of the problems I run into is that you know, I have a whole lot of files I have like somewhere I have you know movies and TV shows and all the stuff that I want to keep everywhere And so it's sort of hard to keep everything in one hard drive Based on the hard drive specifications that are out there nowadays And I also want to have a solid state drive in this machine because it runs faster But of course solid state drives aren't gonna be able to hold the same amount of gigage So this machine has a hard drive port I have a one gig or one terabyte excuse me One terabyte solid state drive in here, and this is the only You know hard drive port that we have on this computer some ThinkPads Will actually have you know other ones on the other side that you can put in But the X series is supposed to be small and as the corollary that they only have this They don't even have a CD drive or anything like that So I have one gig on here, but I have about two nearly You know one and a half other gigs or excuse me terabyte talking at the wrong scale I have about one and a half Other terabyte of you know data that I want to keep I would I don't need it all the time But I need it you know at least some of the time and I don't want to carry it around in the in an external drive So the solution I found to this is actually pretty simple. It's simply a ThinkPad Ultrabass so these things are useful in general You might see these and be a little confused because you know they add some ports, but none of these ports Are you know aren't on the ThinkPad itself? You know they have a VGA port display port stuff like that The ThinkPad has all of these already But Ultrabass is Even before talking about the extra storage space you can put in They're really nice just to you know keep this at your house have a bunch of wires plugged in when you get home You just take your ThinkPad you throw it on there great now all your wires are automatically connected You don't have to worry about it So that's nice in general, but the great thing about these is normally If you have an X series ThinkPad These are nice because they actually add a CD drive, but I don't actually have a CD drive in here You can't easily take them out and replace them. So let me actually take this out Now it's not a CD drive as you will see It is actually I need two hands for a second What you can actually get is you can get an ultra slim Hard drive caddy and put that in and you'll see here. I have a two terabyte hard drive on this thing so basically I keep all of my movies and my Like TV shows and stuff on this and you know when I get home I can watch it or I can take the whole base and you know go to a friend's house or something If we want to watch movies Stuff like that, but of course, I don't normally need these files I have all my core documents on the solid-state drive in here So that's convenient, but of course when I want to go a little further And I want to have some extra stuff I have this and this actually works a whole lot better than just having an external Drive and taking it around everywhere You know just because you know those they fall off. They're not very secure But this is actually very convenient. I still do have an external drive and I sort of keep this in that and sink If I want to take that it the external drive to use on another machine, but this is actually extremely convenient and I have it set up so When I start my computer Of course, Linux will try and mount the mount the extra drive if it's available if it's not it just skips it And there's a designated place it mounts and stuff like that So that's very you know pretty convenient and of course it has a you know The ThinkPad Ultra base has a switch to turn off, you know and remove it safely. So it's pretty safe at you know Being able you know you can pretty much remove it without any kind of problem. So it's extremely convenient So the end result is I have a computer which it's a little thicker I mean there's nothing wrong with having a thick laptop, but you know, it's a little thicker, but it's still ultra portable It's still pretty light and I can have Three gate or three terabytes of storage space on just this machine So it's definitely something you know worth looking into and eventually our plan on just moving to just this machine I do have a desktop. It has actually two terabytes of storage. So, you know less than this actually And I do plan on moving the moving to this as one single machine getting rid of all my other laptops getting rid of my desktop and just having this And you know as time passes I might and you know hard drive technology improves I might get you know a five terabyte drive Or something like that or yeah, I will say that these You have to be careful about the CD drive caddies. I think I forget if there's I think they're nine Millimeter, I think I have a cell seven millimeter drive right here. That's in it There are some hard drives. You got to be careful when you're buying one for these There are some hard drives that can have like five terabytes or something like that, but you know They're like 15 inch or something. So just be wary about that do your research Just know that think pad ultra bases take the ultra slim varieties of these things So and I think the maximum right now in 2017 in current year is two terabytes So now I have maxed out and in a couple years. Maybe I'll get another one Anyway, just this is just to show you the use of an ultra base and how you can sort of get extra stuff out of it And it's so easy to replace and remove and you know do all that kind of stuff with so anyway Hope you learn something. So I'll see you guys next time
