Is this a desktop? If so, for ~$20 you can buy a NVMe SSD controller card. It fits into a PCIe slot. (Assuming you have an empty slot).
I have free slots, yes, but I don't remember the kind.
NVMe SSDs scream. Mine benchmarks above 1.5 GB/sec. (That's B for Bytes, not b for bits). I have openSUSE 42.2 running on it. But I have plenty of RAM, so I don't think the PC ever swaps.
Not as fast as RAM, but 10x the speed of rotating drives even if you ignore seek times.
I have 2 of the NVMe SSDs. One was way expensive (2 TB).
But the Samsung PM951 128GB is under $100.
Interesting, very interesting. Does one need both a controller card and the SSD?
Yes, you have to have both a NVMe SSD controller and a NVMe SSD. The last 2 MBs I bought had integrated NVMe SSD controllers, so for them I can just buy the SSD and plug it in directly to the MB. I can also boot off of the NVMe SSD. I don't think you can boot off the card based controllers. Here's a picture so you know what you're looking for: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M8IF0FF/ref=asc_df_B01M8IF0FF5175913/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=395033&creativeASIN=B01M8IF0FF&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198093101467&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12899413238259457045&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010924&hvtargid=pla-350534282544 I don't know the above vendor, but there should be various sellers of a controller card.
The thing is, when I restore from hibernation I see apps swapping in (back to ram), recovering. For instance, Thunderbird was recovering at 600K/S, according to iotop. Total disk flow was under 2MB/S, according to gkrellm. I'm this instant using the laptop, which disk is capable of about 50 MB/S. Why does Leap recover so slowly from hibernation? It takes minutes till I can really use the machine. 13.1 did the same thing way much faster.
I don't know. Swapping is not something I see much. My smallest machine is 16GB I think. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
