Question #79072 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/79072
jbowen7 posted a new comment: Tom, I found an excellent review/article about SSD's ( http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3531&p=1 ) . It's long (about 20 pages), but very informative, and compelling (at least for my uses). It seems the SSD has degradation problems do to the way it writes and deletes. From what I understand the drive can save a minimum of 4kb at a time and delete a minimum of 512 kb at a time... I decided not to include an explanation, it's on page 4, 5, or 6. But, from the result of the review, even at the worst performance the SSD, when it's degradation is at it's highest, most of the SSD's will out perform a VelciRaptor.. The OZC Vertex seems to be an excellent drive, and it's worth looking into as a OS/Applications Drive; you can pick a 30 GB Vertex up for 150$ at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227468. You mentioned that wine programs are installed in /home but that programs, in general, are installed into / ; I would think then, that a program in wine be installed to /wine/c:/programs/theprogram, or something similar to that? I'm going to continue with research. I'll let you know if I find any more information on the topic. johnny -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
