Cross-posted to 5 groups.
Because that wears out the SSD quickly, and it is better to put it on a
slow HDD. If so, then how do computer (especially laptop/notebook) users
with only a SSD (not hybrids with HDDs) do this? I assume Windows, Mac
OS X, and Linux follow this rule?
Currently, I have a Debian stable box that uses an 115 GB Corsair Force
Series F115 SSD since 11/24/2001. It ran almost 24/7. I do have a very
old PATA/IDE HDD too, but it is mostly for storage. I'd think it would
be too slow for virtual memory (VM) if it was on it. However, my Debian
box (2 GB of RAM) doesn't use it much according to top with a VM (512 MB
of RAM for an updated Windows XP Pro. SP3):
