Hi, Roberto, I understand your point. One is more likely to be shuffling data than programs, therefore it is better to put the data on the faster storage medium.<br>But the way I understand it, there is a limited number of times that one can write to a SSD due to the intrinsic nature of the media. Therefore I would not like to put write intensive files like data, caches, etc on this drive. <br>
<br>Makes sense?<br><br>Javier<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 21, 2012 at 5:00 AM, Roberto Ragusa <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mail@robertoragusa.it" target="_blank">mail@robertoragusa.it</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>What I'm going to say will not help you, it will confuse you more, instead. :-)<br>

Are you sure you want fast OS files and slow data files? Couldn't it be the opposite?<br>
Do you boot often? Do you start programs often?<br>
Or maybe you have programs running all the time and just want fast access to your data<br>
(e.g. searches)?<br>
<br>
The most dynamic things (/home, /var) should go the SSD, to take advantage of the performance.<br>
<br>
Boot time.... will you consider hibernating to SSD? Not bad at all.<br>
<br>
As a general rule, you will see a huge speed difference between SSD and HDD.<br>
The reliability of the SSD is often questioned; in my experience, using a few of them<br>
last years, I did not record any kind of problem.<br>
You should have backups anyway, I think.<br>
A good backup strategy is to make a RAID1 SSD+HDD, and usually run in "broken mirror" mode<br>
on the SSD, just syncing the HDD every few days/weeks.<br>
<br>
(Added confusion, I told you...)<br>
