The Dispossessed Orangutan

Hi, Here is a great, big, and sincere thank you for the replies and helpful information. I was concerned that I would recommend a purchase and then find it did not fit, and it could not be exchanged. Thank you!

Hi, I am asking for a friend. Seriously, a friend just bought a refurbished Dell Precision 3630 desktop system to use as their new Windows 11 machine. It came with a 500GB SSD C:\ drive. I am the person she calls to rescue files when things go awry, so while she was trying to figure out where her "Documents" directory was hiding, I advised her to consider adding a 2TB hard drive to the system for her modest data storage needs, which we can set up as the D:\ drive. I have not built a computer in decades, and knock on wood, I have not replaced a desktop internal hard drive in a long, long time. The Dell Precision 3630 I need a memory refresh, and could really use your help. Are the connectors in the photos I have uploaded compatible with a hard drive such as this: Seagate BarraCuda 2TB Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache Thank you!

Affinity deprecated their forums last month and told folks who wanted to learn workarounds for the lack of basic features or the pernicious bugs that seemed to take forever to fix to sign up on a Discord server. I frequently use Affinity Designer v2 and prefer it to Illustrator because it feels more comfortable and less like an engineering program. Still, most of the time, I wished it were being maintained and developed by a small operation of go-getters rather than a 12-tone styled bureaucracy of professional irresponsibility representatives. The rate of tangible improvement via periodic updates was glacially slow, and, like so many org-chart-developer software products, bugs seemed to be introduced more frequently than fixes. Despite the product's decade-long existence, many basic features are still missing. I doubt Canva's AI subscription system will address any of the down-and-dirty workflow hindrances that humans who want to work with vector art face while using Affinity products. I guess it is time to start learning the arcane ways of Vectorstyler and hope for the best.
