Hello,

I have Debian/testing installed completely in my 120GB SSD. I have learned that if an SSD fails, it is difficult to recover data from them. An SSD often does not give much warning before it fails. Electronic components don’t begin to grind or buzz as they grow older. They work – and then they don’t.

So do I have to consider this risk and move the /home and /root directories to an HDD as they contain the Personal Data of each user, and only keep the Operating System files in the SSD ? How do you people keep the /home and /root directories, when you install the OS in an SSD ? (I have an Ultrabay Caddy, in which I can connect the HDD also in my Thinkpad T61).

Please advice.

Thanks,
Jos Collin
