That's exactly what I was thinking, for something like this it would be excellent. I mean you can't get a 32GB CF card + SATA adapter for this price, and CF cards are much slower.Originally posted by: OoteR02
Yeah, i'm thinking some noatime mount and using it on a mythboxen with boxee should work great. Just need to bump my ram some to use ram drives.
Yeah if you can I'd wait for the next-gen JMicron controllers, which will hopefully address the random write issues w/MLC. If they don't, at least by then the Intel drives might be a bit cheaper.Originally posted by: gba
I am dying to get my OS onto one of these puppies and make my machine utterly silent, but my instincts tell me to wait it out a bit longer..

is the stuttering due to write speed limits or it not fast enough when switching to and from write to read functions?

You basically do not want your swap file, spool file or hibernate file on an SSD drive. You can move the first two, and turn off the 3rd. Indexing is also a problem with these drives, so turn it off. Moving your internet cache to a "regular" hard drive is also a plus.
Those things, and a few other possible tweaks, will make a huge difference. It's the ton of little writes that kills the performance of the (current) SSD drives.

I was going to remove the first, what is the second? And no hibernating allowed at all? So just sleep and restart then...?
For the internet cache how could we do that? I don't want to install firefox to another drive, that defeats the entire purpose, because that's probably the first program I open up each time I get on my computer.
Thanks for the thoughts~
When I get home I'm going to read up on the 2nd gen stuttering issues if there are any, how bad they are, and how to overcome. I'll post then.
Until then if anybody knows anything, has anything, please update us.
