Considering the usage of home directories under Linux, should I put them on an SSD disk along with the OS (perhaps on a separate EXT4 partition) or should I leave them on spindle?
What's your view?
Answer
I have a ssd for 5 years (I think) and more then 40 OS installed,deleted... Still alive. I think the best is to keep yor /home on ssd on a separate partition(assuming that space/number of partition allow this).I have a laptop that I share with coworkers, there I put /home on mmc card (most of them are win users, I don't want them to acces something in ssd). Also, for a modern OS, don't use ext2/3 because of less writes on ssd: ext4 is well optimised in kernel, fast and reliable. Some app like firefox and chrome „feel” the diference:they are much slower on hdd. If you pay ssd, use ssd.
