I did a fresh install of Xubuntu 12.04.1 on a E325, ext4 with discard option & swappiness set to 0, mounting temp directory in RAM, (8GB.)
I found performance was not stellar, in fact, marginally better than traditional spinning storage media. This drive has had good reviews, yet I have seen Windows users complaining of slow performance on-line. It was anything other than zippy, with application loads being plain dog slow & not instant like I expected. I RMAd it eventually & now use the spinning platter that came new, with not much of a noticeable performance hit.
Slow performance on Windows = slow performance on Linux? Would I fare better with another brand?
