Slight understatement there - the airport (10km / 6 miles from the blast) was damaged ... Latest I've seen is 50 dead, 2750 injured, but they are still looking for the firemen / firewomen who were working on the original blaze. 90% of the wheat for the Lebanese staple flatbread is imported throughn the now destroyed port. And with the recent economic fun-and-games in Lebanon, it's all just going to make a very bad situation much, much worse.

It's worse than that. The big building near the port looks like a grain storage silo. A still picture from another angle shows that the silo was damaged, so even if grain were delivered, they have nowhere to store it!
The two closest ports which have grain-handling facilities are Haifa (in Israel), and Latakia (in Syria). The questions are (a) whether they have the combined additional capacity to handle the grain destined for Lebanon, (b) whether the Lebanese government will accept aid coming via Israel, and (c) whether Hezbollah will interfere with any shipments coming from Israel.

Technically, I think Lebanon is still at war with Israel - I just checked and there has been a cease fire in effect since '07, but there is still border fun-and-games plus Hezbollah working in Lebanon - and as for Syria ... they are still having a civil war, plus what's left of ISIS waiting for an opportunity. 
Couldn't have happened in a worse place at a worse time, I guess. What a mess.

Yes, we are technically at war, but Israel has already offered humanitarian assistance including treatment of wounded in Israeli hospitals.
There are logistical and security issues, but I can't imagine the Government refusing to allow the transfer of humanitarian aid to Lebanon via Israeli ports. I expect that many Israelis (myself included) wouldn't stand for it.

I think the biggest risk is not coming from Israeli "normal" people having something against it.

I figured out where the camera was for that shot, right around 3,900 feet away. A wee too close for my taste.
I saw a couple of angles. One from a apartment balcony to the right of this shot, and a bit closer. Another from a boat about a mile, mile and a half, away.
Reminded me of the Texas City Disaster.

The link you provided only supports NVMe M.2 type. It doesn't support the SATA M.2. So if your drive is NVMe then yes, it will work. This is the confusing part of the M.2 type drives.

What do you plan to do with this "clone" of your "main drive"? (A Windows OS probably won't "activate" on a different mother board while the other copy is active).

I am really just planning ahead for eventuality of m.2 wearing out and making sure I can duplicate quickly and get running again.

You are correct went thru those difficulties last year and that is one of the reasons I now run Ubuntu as my main system now. Ubuntu doesn't have that problem.
I can't believe how much I like Linux after using Windows since 3.1 and being a win dev for so long.

And why don't make an Image with AOMEI or Macrium?
If the SSD goes boom, then restoring from the image to a new drive should bring less troubles than cloning an active OS in an extra drive.

Macrium for sure. but you are right. that's a great idea. just make a current image of drive onto an extra SSD then I can restore to any m.2 in the future. great idea! thanks!

When I switched out my .5TB NVMe M.2 for a new 1TB one, I simply used my AOMEI backup boot from a CD. Worked fine.

I was wondering about TotD, so I checked, and found that I missed the fifth anniversary - on 26th Jan 2015 I posted the first of what I figured then was a "one off throwaway": The Lounge[^]
Five and a half years? Good grief ... 
Thank you all for joining in the pun threads that followed - it couldn't have lasted as long without you!

Well, the more interesting query here would be... was that 'miss' once then only or there were repeats in these last 5 years!

A few repeats, but not many at all - I keep a record of ones I have used, and almost always check it before I add a new one to the "future posts" list.

A few months later I started my SOTW 
I based the title (and overall concept) on your TOTD, obviously, but I never kept a list.
Thought it would be a one off throwaway as well 
Missed some weeks, even a few months when my life was, well, hectic, but all in all we're both still here
Love both, by the way.
Yours gives me a few laughs a week, mine gives me some great songs if people reply
My SOTW isn't always as accessible, but sometimes I hear people like it or even if they don't they at least find it interesting, so that's awesome!
Cheers, to another five years! ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)
