With the sizes of the drives available now days, why swap drives to
change OSs?

Seems like it would be easier to just set up a multiple boot situation.
Or, unless you're a gamer, use VirtualBox.

I think I would prefer to have the metal ones as they seem to transfer heat away from the drives better. Any body know where I can get them online? And any suggestions, things I should look for, avoid, etc? It's been years since I needed to shop for something of this nature and things change fast, so I thought it might be prudent to ask. I need to put a decent system together so I can study, work, etc.

I've been asked if I knew MS SQL more than MySQL, so I'm thinking of learning something about MS SQL in an attempt to earn money. I really really really like phpMyAdmin for MySQL on Linux. I use it almost everyday for certain websites in fact. It's faster than using the admin panel that is with the script that runs them for certain tasks. I think I remember there being an equivilent type script for MS SQL, anybody know where I can find it? It might help me in learning so I thought I would check it out. Is there one for Oracle as well? Or other database systems?
