hi, i just booted my "new" system. migration using rsync was smooth. i had to fight a little with grub2 and gpt, but now it seems everything is working fine.
the system has been up just a few minutes, so i haven't had time to do much. but i tried eix-sync and it seemed to me it went much faster. also libreoffice opened in i think less than 2 seconds, instead of several seconds like in my old HDD (a WD green, not particularly fast...). so, all in all i'd venture that yes, the improvement is noticeable. on 2013-07-19 at 11:43 Dale wrote: > At one time, I had a /data directory.
