Subject: [gentoo-user] new machine : (2) HDD or SSD ?
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2012 03:31:44 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120720073144.GE2871@ca.inter.net> (raw)
My regular machine has a Seagate SATA 320 GB ( 3 Gb/s 16 MB ).
Have SSDs reached the point where they are reliable & long-lasting ?
Should I perhaps install an SSD for some uses + an HDD for others ?
Is it viable to use an SSD for Portage ?
Apart from Portage + a few everyday files,
there isn't much churn among the stuff I have on my existing HDD (above).
I saw a recent thread on this topic, but further thoughts are welcome.
