I'm finally upgrading to a 1 TB SSD and i'm not sure what to do with the ol' HDD. some say they convert theirs into an external drive which sounds easy enough, but are there other potential projects?

I moved it to my new PC with the plan of copying everything over to the new, bigger HDD as a backup for all the stuff that has followed my upgrade chain since 1995.

Then I put that off a couple months, and the old hard drive died.

It's been a few years since that happened and I'm still so incredibly upset about that.
