Eu não usei o FancyCache, então não posso falar sobre isso, mas posso falar sobre a melhoria dramática que um SSD faz. Eu mudei todos os meus computadores (incluindo o meu HTPC) para usar um SSD como a unidade de inicialização com discos rígidos tradicionais que armazenam a maior parte dos dados.
Não acredite apenas na minha palavra. De CodingHorror :
Trust me, you will feel the performance difference of a modern SSD in day to day computing. That's far more than I can say for most of today's CPU and memory upgrades. The transition from magnetic storage to solid state storage is nothing less than a breakthrough. It's already transformative;
Um Linus Tovald da mesma postagem no blog:
I can't recall the last time that a new tech toy I got made such a dramatic difference in performance and just plain usability of a machine of mine. The whole thing just rocks. Everything performs well. You can put that disk in a machine, and suddenly you almost don't even need to care whether things were in your page cache or not. Firefox starts up pretty much as snappily in the cold-cache case as it does hot-cache. You can do package installation and big untars, and you don't even notice it, because your desktop doesn't get laggy or anything.
E essas postagens são de 2008-09. As coisas só melhoraram desde então.
Um ponto adicional, como observei, não usei o FancyCache, mas a partir de sua página do produto . leia isto:
As always, we highly recommend that you test out the beta versions on a non-production machine. We are quite confident that the current build is stable, but it is always best to wait for a final release version. Beta testers should also make sure that they generate backups of the files and databases before testing.
Apenas algo para manter em mente.
