For the primary. It is really useful when your ssd dies (happens more often than you'd think) and you need to keep working because you are operating in a situation where you can't afford to lose the time that would be required to swap disks opening the laptop. We have at least one spare ssd in my office always ready to be swapped in case of emergency.

There are also a lot of cool features on them:

They come with 4 usb ports, 2 ethernet ports + wifi, 1 dvi port, 1 dp, 1 serial port, 1 mpi/profibus port, pcie expansion, dvd unit and bluetooth (which is a given). They also, as per manufacturer warranty, can stand a fall from 1-1.5m without suffering damage.

If it’s the primary, do you keep those drives with OS pre-installed on them, or is there like… some sort of bios-like built in to hold the ummm… OS image..? And what about the programs and files and stuff? All vpn/network accessed?

Hopefully you can sort out what that is asking.. I know just enough about computers to fix Linux problems.. if other people have posted about them… usually… with significant effort.

In our case, we keep them with preinstalled OS (and all the apps we need running) so we can swap and go in a moment.
