If you are after the best performance, use an SSD.
If you have many guests and they are primarily parent/child, one thing you can
do is get an SSD and an HDD.
The following is more for desktops, rather than SSDs.
This is something you will have to perform AFTER install onto the SSD, due to
the fact that Qubes installer is not advanced enough to allow multi-drive
install...
1. Boot into Linux Rescue mode from a DVD/CD
2. use fdisk or parted to create the HDD partitions.
- I recommend 2 partitions, 1 for Qubes Logs folders and the other for
AppVMs.
3. Set up the mount points and move the data for Qubes AppVMs and the Logs to
the correct locations on the HDD.
The setup I stated here is more beneficial because of the many writes to the
SDD are not beneficial for it and wear it out quickly, so having the logs on an
HDD makes more sense.
The AppVMs that have their templates on the SSD are mainly reading the SSD,
with very small amounts of data on the HDD.
This is something I queried them on, but they said it already did it, but I
told them it didn't and told them everything how and why it DID NOT do it, and
I have not heard anything further, nor have they changed the installer to allow
for this.
They may have it scheduled for the future, so I will leave it at that.
