Intel Edison arduino MicroSD card 128 GB flashing from exFat to Fat32 format

I bought a 128GB microSD card from samsung, in order to extend my storage space in Intel Edison arduino.  But, there is a missing information about the microSD card support in the technical specifications in the official page Intel visit: https://software.intel.com/en-us/iot/hardware/edison#

So, I asked the Intel support.  They replied with the information about microSD card. 

Intel Edison arduino supports SDHC (2GB to 32GB) and SDXC (32GB to 2TB) micro SD cards. But, it needs to be in FAT32 and not exFat Format.

In order to format, I used the tool - 'HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool  2.2.3' to format exFat file type of the microSD card to Fat32 format.

You can download the tool from filehippo visit: http://filehippo.com/download_hp_usb_disk_storage_format_tool/

After completing the format and mounting the microSD card to intel edison.   Finally, i was able to see the microSD card being detected in the terminal.

Using old laptop HDD as on the go bootable USB-HDD

Upgrading old laptops from HDD to SSD will leave old HDD's lying on the shelves catching some dust. But if the old HDD's are used as bootable USB-HDD. It can make usage of two or more Operating systems feasible on any computer; which saves the disk space and also not messing up with the default disk present in the laptop. I had a couple of old HDD's. so I buyed a USB 3.0 to S-ATA HDD enclosure. Below image will show you the HDD inserted into a HDD enclosure. I experimented by flashing Ubuntu 18.04 to the HDD and used it as bootable USB-HDD. I used it in a hackthon to learn Docker, Terraform, Packer. It ran smoothly without any issues.
