<div dir="ltr"><div>I recently did a laptop with a hybrid drive since it showed up as two separate drives I put root on ssd for speed and home on spinning disk. While I have nothing to compare it to except the old windows install I have to say it felt very fast. On a desktop or laptop I use owncloud to back up share data between my computers. I might also consider raid0 stripe if both drives were small it would give faster read writes and act more like a ssd speeds and larger total disk size. Two disks could be a good idea on some servers to limit security issues access to root. At least we have lots of great options but best is better determined by individual computer use, needs and hardware software on a case by case<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 6, 2016 at 1:22 PM, Stephen Partington <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cryptworks@gmail.com" target="_blank">cryptworks@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Woo thanks for the tip.

I do this for laptops too when an option, I just make sure to buy laptops that can take two. More common it seems with the advent of msata or m2 drives.<br>

I'm not a fan of splitting file systems between disparate disks (one or the other dies, there went half your os), unless you're just creating a dump drive for stuff like movies and such on a spinner.<br>

Apple isn't exactly doing magic with their use of a ssd as a cache, as usual they just sell it as such and make it brainless for users to take advantage. Look up dm-cache, flashcache, or bcache for the same thing under linux, where dm-cache is built into newer kernels as part of lvm (maybe bcache too).<span><font color="#888888"><br>

I'm trying to find documentation to tell me whats the best setup when<br>
partitioning 2 drives. Does it make since to have root and boot on<br>
one drive and then everything else on a 2nd drive?<br>
