I am purchasing a hybrid laptop which has a 256GB SSD and a 1TB HDD. This is the first time i'm purchasing a laptop with a SSD and hybrid storage. I intend to install Ubuntu on my SSD and store files (/home) on my HDD. I have no prior expereince with installing an OS on such specs. How should i proceed with installation and is there any problems which i may run into, or any tips?

This post may be of help to you. I would recommend keeping your /home folder on the SSD also and use the HDD for extra storage, The reason I say that is a lot of programs use the /home folder for hidden config files and if they have to get it from the HDD you'll notice a slowdown in those programs. But the choice is yours.

  • I usually store a lot of big sized mp4 videos and a huge music library. If that remains in the home folder, wouldn't it get too big for the SSD? – Barry Bonds Jun 12 '19 at 11:25
  • you can use the Hdd and Partition it as a /Data partition or call it movies or anything you want and move them mp4 files to the Hdd. you do not have to leave them in the home partition. – kc1di Jun 13 '19 at 09:26
