I have had the same problem with a new install and fully updated 12.04 as of yestarday. I was using a OCZ Vertex 4 128GB SSD (with new firmware 1.4.1.3). I just ended up imaging the whole disk over to a normal HDD and its much better now.
Just as a few side notes, I was using it in a older HP desktop (5800 I think) that does not support AHCI, but it was a brand new SSD, never been used before, so it should of been running better then a HDD... especially this older 80GB one. I found everything seemed to "pause" for seconds before continuing. Just using unity was annoyingly slow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001578 Title: Nautilus on SSD is slower than on external HDD To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1001578/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
