First (china no-name home server). Yes it supports drives. But i am too lasy to disassemble it (it is hell!). I already disabled disk cache in about:config, but it didn’t speed up the system much. The system is on a memory card. But RAM is 64 gigs. Is there any way to put all the cache (including offline data) into RAM? I don’t care if I have to restart because the slowdowns are annoying.
And second. My main laptop. 16 gb ram. Here is why I wanna save SSD life.
Also consider tmpfs for /tmp, /var/tmp, or even /home/user/.cache if you daren’t concerned about persistence.
For the laptop (116 GBRAM):
Same deal but smaller tmpfs size, maybe 512M–1G. Add noatime to SSD mounts in fstab, move logs and cache dirs to tmpfs. It’ll help reduce writes.
