So how do I find out whether my Linux boxen will support transfer rates that make SSD worthwhile?
I have indirectly answered this. According to "sudo dmidecode -t 2" I have an "A55M-P33" motherboadr which Google tells me has 6 SATAII ports, which means I have 3Gbps only.
However I can presumably add a 6Gbps SATA card; if so, what do I need to look out for?
It makes the following question more pertinent:
If my motherboard can only give me 3Gbps, is it fair to assume that I will still see major improvements over traditional hard disks even if not the full benefit of the SSD?
... especially when it comes to laptops where I can't upgrade the SATA capability.
