speed increase by swapping HDD to SSD?

[quote=Roberror]I want to try to swap the HDD to SSD for speeding up bootup time, maybe also normal programming, on H3, IPC and RH.
Does anyone have experience in this?
Is it possible? Would it help?
What would be the minimum Size of Memory required (cost!)?


I think this is not possible presently as there are no drivers in the system to handle this type of drive with the current Linux kernel on H3 (same problem as USB Flash drives), or in the XPe for iPC/RH.

[quote=Roberror]Second reason: had already couple of HDD failures on different consoles- the change could also increase reliability

Actually with the ammount that H3 is constantly reading and writing to the HDD, I don't think a SSD would have a longer lifetime, in fact it may even be significantly shorter. It might be worth experimenting though to find out.
