Hi,
First of all, I apologize for starting an off-topic discussion.
i'm using an Intel 535 Series 120GB SSD. So I believe that it is
reliable and good quality product.
I don't have any videos in any of my computers, all of them are moved to
DVDs and I consider them as unnecessary. I have onl

Technically possible. But root's home directory (originally, "/" as root of

Backups are usually supposed to be done on a different storage device
than the one that is actively used. I wouldn't include the "backup
scenario" here unless Jos is doing backups of a storage device onto the
storage device itself (if that is the case I would strongly recommend
NOT to do that).
As
Doing regular backups takes pretty good care of device failure.
Depending on how it is done, it also can help recover from accidents
other than equipment failure, like deleting files in error.
That said, I have read that for some time SSD reliability has been at
least on a par with HDDs. And you

You have to determine where exactly is speed required with your files.
As it was already mentioned (twice) speed is required only for certain
things. Putting a video file that is opened once every couple of days is
most certainly not crutial to the system's performance. I haven't heard
anyone ever
Keeping everything on the SSD has its advantage too - speed. But won't
secure the data on the fly as keeping it on the HDD.
Actually I'm confused which method to follow. Both has its own advantage
and disadvantage.

I have to agree with Aleksandar. The SSD is the place that you need to put
the OS, software that is used regularly, and under some circumstances
temporary large datasets that are being used repetitively during a working
problem ( ie stacking.) Your home partition, and mundane data should be
moved
Hi Jos,
Usually SSDs are used to store things that you want to load as fast as
possible. Generally this includes files, that the OS requires during its
booting, application that you use very often etc. I would recommend that
you store things like Music, Documents, Videos etc. to an HDD not only

Originally, i wantded to wrtie "if we take Stefan seriously, then something
like 2/3 of RAM size should be 99.99% enough; and you'll probably never see the
0.01% worst case in your lifetime".
But then, with modern harddrives, who cares about one or two G more or less :)
