Here is how I do it: |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
1 SSD (small, but big enough): |
| 52 |
- OS + Software + Home directories |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
1 HDD (Large) |
| 55 |
- Documents, Media,.... |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
The reason I do it this way is: |
| 58 |
- SSD is fast and a lot of software tends to use the home directory for it's |
| 59 |
data, configuration,.... |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Problem with SSD: They are expensive when getting the bigger versions. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
- HDD is a lot cheaper and documents tend to be read once, edited for a |
| 64 |
lengthy period, then written once. Which is fine for HDD. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
The only exception I have to the above is my laptop. |
| 68 |
That one has a large SSD, but only because of the G-force restistance... |
