Re: [tlug] Making better use of SSDs?

I would go with #1.

If your PC is swapping, then you're lost already - SSD may ease some
pain, but that's not really a solution.

Besides, using SSD as a swap means SSD is kept idle unless things
starts swapping. That's kind of like keeping your best wine bottle
until you're completely drunk :-).

I'm using SSD to offload I/O load generated by qemu VMs, and it is
quite comfortable. Other options, like using it as an external journal
area, creating SSD+HDD hybrid device may be worth considering also.
