On my desktop I went for SSD for / and 1TB spinning rust for /home. I
found the 120GB / wasn't used well so I moves some VMs and that makes
for much better use of space, with the speed improvement too. I just
don't worry about space anymore now rust is cheap.
On my Thinkpad laptop I put two SSDs in (one conventional, one mSATA)
and dual boot.
When I go back to rust on my other laptop or family computer it feels
painful after getting used to SATA :(
Cheers,
Al.
