It seems that is not as much a issue any more. At one time, I had a /data directory. I stored large stuff there: camera pics, videos, audio stuff and such. If you put /home on SSD, you could always put the larger stuff on another mount point. One thing about Linux, you can mount stuff wherever you want. Post back how it works out and any speed improvements you see. I'm really curious since I would like to get one that is at least big enough for the OS itself. My /home is over 1Tb, that is Tb too. I'm not buying one big enough for all that. lol Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
