By: CantSeemToThink. on 14 Feb 12, 16:52:50
Exactly man! The sequential? read/write speed is bullshit, it's not how OS is using disk. The thing to look at is IOPS with 4kB random read/write. For me the sweet spot was with 160GB Intel 320.

Or you can get a ...
By: CantSeemToThink. on 14 Feb 12, 16:48:41
Or you can get a hybrid solution like Seagate Momentu that? is big and fast. It has heuristics that put frequenlty used data in the flash part and the rest on magnetic plates. Also such disks often use the faster memory - SLC instead of the common MLC.

3Gb/s is possible ...
By: CantSeemToThink. on 14 Feb 12, 16:44:27
3Gb/s is possible on SSD with sequential reads - see OCZ Vertex 3 - although I woudl not recommend this disk as I have bad experiences with OCZ SSD disk and have read plenty of bad reviews and dirty marketing/etc. tricks ("lies") about them. So it is just an example to prove that SATA II is not enough? nowadays.

The controller is ...
By: Alistairville. on 08 Feb 12, 23:05:01
The controller is the part of SSD that concerns me. For example, Apple OSX works with only one - or maybe only a limited number - of controllers - and what the heck are the better controllers - or does it make absolutely no difference for the most part? Your direction to check out sequential vs non-sequential reads was handy - but I do wonder at your buying a 40gig? SSD HD. What could you even fit on so small an HD?

You didn't ...
By: SeltsamerAttraktor. on 03 Nov 11, 18:33:19
You didn't understand. A large SSD on which you could put / and /boot and whatnot is for sure quite fine, but also expensive. Putting the whole / tree there is very wasteful, not? to mention other files in /home that are loaded frequently (like a game in wine). This is why the best method would be to implement some kind of automatic heuristic that uses the SSD as some kind of cache for frequently used files (copying them from the main HD). This needs to be done at kernel level.

Ah, didn't know you ...
By: AppA. on 03 Nov 11, 18:14:49
Ah, didn't know you had enough RAM :) What you also can look into is making the SSD a boot partition, this way your system will boot faster. It also helps reduce a single? point(s) of failure: When your /boot partition gets corrupted is some way, you'll still have your other partitions.

That would have no ...
By: SeltsamerAttraktor. on 03 Nov 11, 15:55:44
That would have no effect at all since Ram is cheap this day at the? swap seldom used. And it's not what I want.

By: prankmypants. on 04 Oct 11, 23:56:31
Yep I looked at those also but way out of price range. Saying that tho once I get a 4 way sata6 raid controller i can have 4x 120gb forcegt for 2.2GB/s sequential and 760MB/s 4K. Now if IOPS are additional in raid (correct me if? wrong, i did try googling quick) then id have 340,000 IOPS :P

If you want mental ...
By: TheMeanEYE. on 04 Oct 11, 19:32:36
If you want mental masturbation check OCZ RevoDrive 3. PCI-Express card with 4 "drives" on super fast RAID controller. They pull something like 1.5GB/s read/write (that's Byte not bit) and on random read/write they get around 230000 IOPS on 4k blocks. Damn? fast if you ask me. Funny thing is, WIn7 still takes around 16+ seconds to load on this drive which is funny considering speeds that drive has.

By: TheMeanEYE. on 04 Oct 11, 19:24:07
@Hax0rPr0n Lose sectors? Did I miss a meeting? What flash memories have is limited number of writes. On my OCZ Vertex2 drive, that's around 10 000 per cell. With built-in algorithms estimated dist life is somewhere? over 10 years. For speeds I get, I'll gladly buy another one in 4-5 years.

By: SeltsamerAttraktor. on 04 Oct 11, 08:08:45
Nowadays there is a KCM module (entry in systemsettings) for configuring grub.? IDK if Kubuntu ships with it by default. If you want to do it by hand, edit/create /etc/default/grub and put something like that in there: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false GRUB_TIMEOUT="3" Self-explanatory. And do sudo update-grub for the changes to take effect. Grub has indeed become rocket science. help. ubuntu. com /community/Grub2 wiki. ubuntuusers. de /grub_2 (in the rocket science language)

By: FloppyFormatFrenzy. on 04 Oct 11, 03:00:37
Welcome Back! One thing most people don't think about is the fact that HDD drives will heavily fragment once they reach roughly 80% capacity, which will resort in performance issues, and it applies to almost every OS! In a way, you could say that while you might have a 100gb HDD, you really have 80gb of decent performance. Since SSD uses RAM like access, the seek time is negligible in SSD.? Basically fragmentation is only a big deal with disk based drives. Just another thing to consider.

All well and true,? but I'll be sticking to traditional HDDs for now.

There is nothing baffling about it - it designed to compliment touch screen interfaces. Great on tablets - and annoying as F^CK for professional desktop use.

I 100% agree. It seems that the menu separation is designed with? the use-case of one fullscreen application at a time. Not ideal for my 1900x1200 display, or for folks that want to monitor more than one window. Similarly, the sidebar seems to be more suitable to people that use only a few programs regularly (say firefox and a couple of games),. Still that's the great thing about Linux, you can just use another distro. I've dumped Ubuntu, and I see that it's no longer top dog in distrowatch.

And what's so hard about typing the name of the app you? want to invoke??? Is digging through endless contextual menus and their categories more efficient than pressing on the win key and typing the app name? I suppose, it might not be, if you're a hopeless typist!

By: boxerfencer. on 04 Nov 11, 02:30:40
Unity "forces" you to use the dock? Nice word choice. It shows you bias. How about "uses" or "allows". Invoking apps from the dashboard confuses you??? I suppose you'd be lost in front of a terminal. The dock is not a waste of space. I can tell you that it's difficult to make out small icons. The global menu system is a space saver. You get more in app real estate. In addition I think Apple put it up top because? people roll their eyes up when trying to remember things (simple psychology).

I was extremely confused about how you questioned the efficiency, especially when "you know what you want".

By: VentoLT. on 13 Aug 11, 09:59:56
The sidebar auto-hides when you put anything under it. As a matter of fact, all the "rants" you mentioned are the things I love about the Unity. Well, OK, I never use the sidebar. I just removed every launcher from it and NEVER use it. I either alt+tab? or type-to-launch any program. Personally, I think this UI is something optional between touch and desktop friendly interfaces. P.S. To some people commenting: Nobody is forcing you to use it. That's the idea of Linux - use the one you like!

By: andjack. on 19 May 10, 23:42:10
It's only personal prefs. what you like. But UI-way it IS better to have them to the left. Consider where the text mostly is and where the mouse is in a window. If you use scripts that is right-left orientated, like arabic or hewbrew(sp?) text, you want have it the old way. As usually, you can always change them as you like. But I think they? will use the window bar for status information in the future, so it will be better this way.
