Hello Everyone ,
Been using bodhi now for quite some time.But i haven't run bodhi on a ssd yet.i know SSDs are supposed to run faster than Mechanical HDD.Just curious.Since the distro is very light , will i be able to see a noticeable difference if i installed bodhi on a ssd other than a mechanical HDD ?  |

Hello
Noticeable? LOL
Of course it depends on SSD model but in my case it was like comparing a bicycle with motorcycle. Yes, it is much much faster. My boot time used to be around 40 seconds. Now it is 8 secs. Running apps is immediate. Gimp start used to be very slow. Now it is withing 1 second.
Yes, I can highly recommend SSD for any kind of machine. New or older. You will have a different kind of experience.

It´s true. I´ve switched to SSD on four systems ( 2 desktop ( Win7+Bodhi ) and 2 laptop ( Win10+Bodhi and Win7+Debian )), and the performance boost that you get is incredible. I´ve always had fun upgrading internal components ( CPU, Ram, HD... ) to enjoy the difference, and nothing is comparable with HDD->SSD, IMHO. Now, you can grab a 128gb SSD for 15-20 euro. It is a must have upgrade. I am curious to test a M2 SSD, but I do not have any computer with this option available ( yet ). |

My Lenovo Ideapad 3 comes with M2 SSD 256 GB. It should be faster than common SATA SSD device. My old Lenovo is with SATA Samsung Evo 500 GB. I did not do any tests but both systems are very responsible.

HUGE different. It boots faster and apps load faster. There is no upgrade I've ever done to a computer that was as noticeable. Ever. Double your ram or your cpu speed won't be as noticeable.
I put a $20 128GB SSD in my old pentium 4, now its as fast as a modern pc!
