I have a MUCH smaller /home than Dale and on a new box I was thinking of=20
having it on a HDD, along with all things portage related. I typically res=
ync=20
3 -4 times a week but I am not sure how much erase/write cycles this=20
represents. Also, /home is written all the time with mail and various=20
application profile folders, browser cache and what have you. That's why I=
=20
was thinking that /usr/portage, /var/tmp/portage, /var/log, /home and /swap=
=20
were candidates for HDD.
I guess the rest under / does not change that often and a weekly or even=20
monthly back up would be all that is necessary to facilitate recovery when =
the=20
SSD dies on me.
Am I being too cautious with current technology SSDs?
BTW, unless anyone advises differently, I was thinking of buying a SanDisk=
=20
Extreme II, SATA III, 2.5" 240GB SSD. I read that its SLC cache improves=20
speed and reliability, but I don't know if true.
