I would suggest everybody to cool down a bit. I was very close to closing the topic to avoid further senseless fighting, but since the topic itself is interesting and in my opinion critical questions are important to avoid FUD being spread, I will leave this open and issue a last warning to all parties involved.
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting. Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules. For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first. |

Next tip:
Reduce the number of write cycles to the SSD. Reducing writes to the SSD just involves setting a few options in the fstab file (noatime,nodirtime) these options stop linux from updating the last read time for each file when reading. Will keep your SSD longer alive without loosing valuable info. |

Better tip:
Enable TRIM first under ubuntu/linux kernels >= 2.6.33  /etc/fstab - option (discard) |

If performance is your key objective and your chipset can handle it, then yes. If reinstallation / configuration takes weeks if not months then avoid. |
