Checkout the following analysis: > > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12330898 I agree as far as SD card performance grade. When you switch to the Extreme level of performance (45MB/s read/write), you will see almost hard drive level of performance. Of course, you must be aware of what happens to SD card when written to very often. So I would suggest that you mount you /tmp and /var/tmp and your home dir on some other drive. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
