(because, so I'm told, the 16 > gig secondary SSD is very cheap/slow flash RAM.) Hmm, interesting. I'm getting 12M/s write speed on the 16G drive, double that on the 4G drive. It's not going to break any records, but it's fine to use. But anyway, the read speed (which is surely what matters for the OS) from the raw devices is 32Mb/s for both drives, so I'm not convinced it'll make a huge difference. Having said that, write speed pretty much maxes the CPU anyway because it's an encrypted drive. Previously I was running everything from a SD flash card, and this is definitely better! > Having done the install from live and putting /home and /usr on the > 16 gig (along with a little bit of swap, which is pretty much never > used, but which serves to allow hibernation) it is MUCH more responsibe. Interesting. I guess most of the system will end up in the first 4G anyway.
