Hi, 2 Questions about SSD drives:
First, I would appreciate of someone who has SSD disk will run hdparm -t /dev/sda and post the results here. (In the spirit of the recent thread about HW for linux). I have /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 586 MB in 3.01 seconds = 194.68 MB/sec And it interests me to compare results Does a result of, let's say, 400 MB/sec, which is double speed comparing the above result, will boost a task of building a linux kernel (on a dual core machine) in about 1.5 or 2? Second question: I must admit that I am a newbie with SSD, so this question might seem obvoious to others: I saw that inner SSD disks, which are sold in stores like KSP/Ivory, are in laptop form factor (2.5''). Is there some reason that there are no inner 3.5'' disks for Desktops (there are extenal SSD which can be , so I believe, used with desktops) ? Is there something which prevent us from connecting 2.5'' inner SSD to a desktop (I mean STAT2- based or SATA3-based) ?
