Just bought an SSD drive (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139428).It was the only one I could find locally. Is it any good?
From what I read, putting /tmp and /var/logs on the ramdisk is advised for to increase the life expectancy of SSD. The problem is I only got 1gb ram, so I'm scared tmp heavy applications like cd burners can suffocate my ram. Here are my options so far,
** /tmp and /var/logs on a traditional HDD --> will this slow my system significantly?
** /tmp and /var/logs on a flash drive ---> From I read so far, to get speeds greater than hdd a complex filesystem of scattered clusters needed.
** Not giving a fuck, just making SSD the root partition and believing in the resiliency of Kingston --> keeping in mind I can't afford buying a new one in next 3 years.
** Finding a way to setup a ram drive --> My system is ungodly light, half of ram usually free, so I can dedicate 400megs of ram and kludge some safety mechanism to prevent suffocation of ram.
