If you are using swap enough to worry about the speed of the drive,
you have something wrong in my opinion.
Do a "vmstat 5" and watch the "so" column. If it is zero most of the
time you're not really using swap. i.e Nothing is being sent to swap.
If it is typically non-zero during normal system usage, you have a
problem (or some really big programs). Typically not enough RAM. In
that situation I personally would buy more ram, not try to figure out
how to make swap faster.

I am planning on adding a third hard drive to my mix. I will be buying
2 new larger ones, one for root and one for home and i would like to use
the third one as a swap drive.
Would it be best not to use the third one as a swap drive and leave the
swap drive on the root drive?
I also want to copy my home drive to the new larger drive. Are there
any issues I need to be aware of that could cause some problems with
regard to data access and such?
