Hello, I have a 8Gb Pengium G2120 system with a normal WD Red 3 TB hard drive. Most of the time it actually does what I want just fine. Unfortunately, sometimes it starts to swap and then becomes very slow immediately. I tried reducing swappiness to 10, now it starts to swap in less cases - but when it does it basically hangs for a few minutes. I can't afford a full upgrade (CPU. Mobo, RAM), especially with current RAM prices. And I am not sure I should spend money on more DDR3 RAM now, especially since I am not exactly sure if what I have is DDR3 or DDR3L and how new additional RAM will affect the system. So I wonder - would it help to get a small (16-32G) SATA SSD and use it just for swapping? As this is for swap only, I can get a cheap SSD (if it breaks I just lose one session). I can get a 32Gb SSD for about 25 Euro, while an extra 8GB of RAM would apparently set me back more like 50 Euro. But will this work? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
