Sustained use is a big part of the question. Also, the data is to different files, and thus different locations on the disk.
I suspect that I am being overly cautious. I just hope the SATA drivers for openSUSE 11.2 (2.6.31.14-51-desktop) are up to the task.
You need to be cautious about the disks you choose and especially what controller you are using. There has been a lot of bug fixing in libata since 2.6.31. The wiki may list issues, otherwise search the kernel change log or generally google the model numbers. It's possible to update the kernel if necessary, of course. You might find it best to just buy a disk and try it to see what issues emerge, if any. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
