Hello!
I've read some crazy **** what can go wrong when using SSD, and, since I just got my first laptop with an ssd, I just wanted to confirm what is the right procedure to go on now.
I have installed Windows 8 on my system and I am completly annoyed. Windows 7 was really ok, but this new metro-thing is just unusable with no touch-screen. So I want to go back to Ubuntu, which I was using some years ago. I am currently downloading Ubuntu 13.10.
My computer has an 1TB sSATA HDD and an Intel 32GB SSD. Since the HDD is somehow loud (I installed Windows in it) I would like to install the pure system on the 32GB SSD and use the 1TB HDD for data. I would like to keep windows for compatibility. First of all: Is this a good idea? Will it work? Is 32GB enough? What about software I install later?
The much more important question: How and where do I have to configure the SSD? Because I have read some things about Write-Blocks and that these blocks should have the same sice and the OS write blocks? Guides I found offer different solutions for this but are not identically. What is the way to go for Ubuntu 13.10 and my system?
Thanks in advance for every help.
