"Even" with swap? Swapping is something that should be relatively rare. It's there to prevent a major disaster on the odd occasion when there isn't enough memory. The oddness of those occasions should result in minisule wear on the swap device. In effect, it is not sound policy to use an expensive fast device for swap, as the benefit is just exceedingly small. >some ssds even have 10 year warranties. good luck finding a hard drive >with a warranty anywhere near that long. True, which just adds to reasons for doing the right thing in the first place. -- Floyd L. Davidson http://www.apaflo.com/ Ukpeagvik (Barrow, Alaska) floyd@apaflo.com
