Has anyone actually used a SSD in a Centos setup?
My little experiment with a s/h WD drive for /tmp and SWAP
partitions kicked the bucket on Wednesday, when the poor WD
drive caught the click-of-death. It was a s/h drive
to start with and lasted about 4 months. But that was
without the /var/log/ partition being written to it, as I
mounted that back onto /var/log from the original drive.
So I had to install another (WD) drive, and repartion it and
rebuild my RPM package database, from the backed-up Packages
file. That seems to be all OK now.
I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to use a new SSD
for moving all the disk i/o to, that Linux likes to do so
often. Plus putting SWAP onto a decent SSD should speed
things up somewhat.
Here's a short video of a laptop fitted with a SSD drive
booting macOS, compared to a similar laptop booting from
the standard HDD.
The laptop with the SSD boots and loads some apps in 28
seconds. The other one takes twice as long.
