I'm replacing my old Ubuntu desktop / media server with some newer hardware. Wondering whether or not I should make the jump to an SSD for the OS.
Current System:
AMD FX-4300 Quad Core
8GB DDR3
300GB Seagate Barracuda disk for the OS
12-year old VGA monitor. (No interest in HD)
New System:
ASRock Z97 PRO4 MOBO - Correction: MSI 970A-G46
AMD FX-6300 Six Core Black Ed.
12GB DDR3
Same monitor
I'll pick up a cheap video card as this mobo doesn't have onboard video
And potentially a 128GB SSD for the OS
What I Use It For:
- Subsonic Media Server, web browsing, Google suite of apps
- Potentially using Virtual Box for Adobe Creative Suite, though presently I use Inkscape and Gimp
- No HD Video or gaming
At present, file browsing, Chrome, and gMusicBrowser are sluggish and Gnome hangs almost daily. Wondering whether the SSD would significantly improve basic system performance over the 8-year old HDD?
