Re: OT: SSHDs Any experience?

Im running a samsung 840 pro 512gb SSD as my boot drive, and i have a 3tb and a 1.5tb for storage. I havent had the SSD long enough to really give any inout on longevity, but i do get bootup times of 10 secs from power-on to usable desktop ;)

I think the main thing in the longevity is not packing the SSD to its max capacity, thats why i have these other drives.

Partial agreement: almost any drive works best with not more than 50-70% utilization, but what I've dug up (e.g.: second hand info) suggests that minimizing rewrites (to an SSD) adds to longevity. i.e., an SSD is best used as a tool to house executables you wish to load quickly, but not a great place to keep a swap nor as a data drive.

For 3 years, I have been running Debian Testing on my main PC at home, with a 32GB SSD as the boot drive and a 1T HD for swap and data. The SSD is about 50% full. Boot up is about 10 sec to login screen, then another 4 or 5 sec to usable desktop. Have not had any problems with the SSD (or other parts of the system).	[reply]
