1/26    Has anyone tried using solid state hard drive as the OS+swap to
        improve performance?
        \_ you know I haven't seen my machine touch swap in years.  How
           much RAM do you have?
        \_ Set it as swap and it might last a few hours.  You know SSDs have a
           write limit, right?
           \_ "I did not know that." How many times can I write to my
              flash drive before kaput?
           \_ All drives have a write limit.  10-15 years ago flash had a
              write limit in the 1000's of writes per sector.  Those days
              are long gone and SSDs a simaler level of mean time before
              failure as hard drives.
           \_ "Industrial Strength" CF cards (used in Industrial computers
               / automation controllers) has a guarentee life of about
               100k write.   Most of the SSD in you use are *NOT* industrial
               grade by a long shot, as industrial grade is *A LOT MORE*
               (e.g. 4x or more) expensive.
