My system has three drives; an internal 240 GB SSD, a a couple of USB-connected drives, a 480 GB SSD and a 2 TB HDD. I guess I'm a bit paranoid regarding data loss; they're all bootable and all contain a current version of Fedora.

Thank you, MC. 👍🏻

I'm kind of amazed at how many people are still using spinning rust as their root, boot), and swap) drives.

All the machines I have access to get a SSD of some sort. Even if it's a xxGB SATA I. Huge improvement over a 5400+ RPM HDD.

In the not too distant future my desktop will have 2x SATA III SSDs in RAID 0 to handle /, /boot, swap, and ~/ partitions for OS & configuration while a few large HDDs will handle most of the storage.

I plan on putting some games on another set of RAID 0 SSDs and maybe some media on RAID 0 HDDs with a few others as JBOD for seldom used files.

Swap will probably be split between all SSDs. Still use it because I always suspend the power hungry machine when not in use.
