BTW; My new WD Black drive arrived earlier this week and I cloned my old drive and keep it as a backup. My upgrade from Ubuntu 15.10 to 16.04 went well. (Two minor, but easily fixed glitches.) Works extremely well...and the upgrade kept all my former settings. When I opened up my machine I had a look at the 2nd HD which still has XP ..and noticed it is also a WD Black. As far as leaving my machine on 24/7 , I'm against the idea...I just hibernate and can be back up and running in five seconds
