Some comments, sure to stir up trouble:
Never! :-) The way I've done it on my home machine is: Pair of SSDs for OS Pair of spinning rust for user data (an existing MD raid) I installed Kubuntu 14.04 onto one SSD using btrfs as the filesystem, and made sure I left some unpartitioned space (~1GB) free as experience on the btrfs list (and from others) indicates this can help the FTL (the firmware) on some SSDs with garbage collection. I then added the second SSD as a btrfs RAID-1 device and balanced the filesystem. cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC
