[tde-users] Anybody here using an SSD?

Hi, everybody! I'm giving some thought to putting an SSD in my desktop machine. The relatively small ones, ~500gb, have gotten pretty cheap, and they seem to be fairly reliable (though I can't say I utterly trust them, though traditional HDs aren't perfect in this regard, either). It seems that if properly employed, one could speed up my system considerably. But I thought I'd ask here before pushing the buy button. So . . . has anyone here used an SSD in a desktop machine? If so, what did you put on it? I have 20tb of storage on the machine, most of it big photo files, and I expect to keep all of it. Absent a compelling reason to the contrary, I'd keep ~/ on a conventional hard drive as well. My initial idea is putting the / partition and swap partitions on the thing, with everything home and below staying put. An additional consideration is my idea of keeping a fully current install where it is now, though not using it unless the SSD blows up. Is this reasonably easy to do, or would it be a giant pita? Anyone here have any experience doing this kind of thing? -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
