It is and nobody should worry about "greatly reduced access speeds", if the SSD has got no cache. With the SSDs I mentioned, I can turn on the computer and use the display manager's greeter to log in after around 2 seconds. IOW I can already start a user session, while some startup processes, such as establishing an Internet connection, aren't done. The reported startup time is around 7 or 8 seconds, however, I can log in after around 2 seconds. Even the slowest SSD is way faster, than the fastest HDD. IOW the disk never will be the bottleneck again. "Greatly reduced access speeds" without cache are a vague claim. This is "reduced access speed" nearly nobody could notice, at least not if you migrate from a HDD to such a SSD and neither for averaged desktop work, nor for real-time audio work. -- Kitty, Daisy & Lewis - The Game Is On https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL6Cuo0YPlo Kitty, Daisy & Lewis - Down On My Knees https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD86aRsJ1N0 Kitty, Daisy & Lewis - Black Van https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lL--_xzNLI _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
