After a bad experience with a 240 GB Kingston SSD in the 2008 MacBook pro I have decided to get a Samsung EVO 850 SSD of 256 GB capacity & put it into the 2011 MacBook Pro in place of the older but still OK Samsung EVO 830 SSD that's currently in it. The 830 will then be available for redeployment into the older MBP.
@matigo Not sure what they are but when the drive is attached to my Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt adaptor, the end of the drive opposite the SATA connection is drawn down to the body of the adaptor. I have never experienced that with ant other HD.
I salvaged a 128 GB HD from a friend's Windoze laptop he was chucking iut. On it were 1.28 GB of photos, of which 1.1 GB were worth keeping. These I made into a DVD using Toast.
I had hoped to use the HD for backups but won't now. TechTool Pro monitors attached storage & reports that it's failing S.M.A.R.T. testing. There's some magnets in the drive I may be able to salvage.
@matigo Ah, now that's interesting. I DO NOT see the sidebar at all in Chrome or in an Epichrome-created SSB, so I guess it's not a problem. Vivaldi, Safari, Firefox, Opera & Stainless browsers show both the sidebar & the option in Preferences to go widescreen. Roccat browser (old tech, designed to work on PPC & Intel Macs) shows the sidebar when the window is wide enough. It doesn't give the wide option in Preferences.

@matigo It seems to be a Chrome issue. Chrome is the main aspect of the SSB, Epichrome creates it, the actual SSB renders itself as a Chrome window.
I've just opened Cappuccino in Chrome itself, no widescreen option. There is in Safari, I'm yet to check the other five browsers I have installed.

@10centuries Totally NOT seeing the wide screen option when using Cappuccino as a site-specific browser in Chrome via Epichrome app, despite creating a new SSB. Private messages are visible, though.
The onward march of progress. A 21.5-inch iMac weighs 5.7 kg. I have a 20-inch Apple Cinema Display that's 900 grams heavier at 6.6 kg.

// @bazbt3 @kdfrawg I have seen such a salad. It's a chocolate salad comprised of Kit Kat fingers.
