<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hello,</p> <p>So I use an SSD for my packages and the OS and an external HDD for storage, with symlinks between the relevant directories. </p> <p>I am not disappointed with performance. But I got to wondering as I am getting a new machine soon and so will be doing a fresh install - is my current setup really optimal? </p> <p>I know some people just stick anything below /home/user/ onto the HDD. This isn't what I've done; rather I have specific directories, like Documents, Music, etc. on the HDD.</p> <p>​</p> <p>I figure it might be quicker to answer: what directories, if any, under /home/ should *not* go onto a storage HDD? The paru cache takes up a lot of space, for example, but I figure it benefits from the write speed of the SSD. I figure things like the firefox cache <em>may</em> benefit from being on SSD, but I am not sure (a bit like games - sometimes you <em>do</em> see a performance difference when a game is on an SSD, other times, nope, none at all.)</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/haelaeif"> /u/haelaeif </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/r6bzk9/optimal_ssd_hdd_setup_which_directories_should_go/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/r6bzk9/optimal_ssd_hdd_setup_which_directories_should_go/">[comments]</a></span> |
