Dear all,

Does anybody have experience using a SSD or combined mechanical/SSD drive
for reading large trajectories into VMD? Do any of the two provide a speed
up compared to conventional hard disks? Also, how well are SSD/SSHD
supported in Linux?

I was considering ordering a Samsung Evo 850 Pro until I read some
negative reports, e.g.,

https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/3a58s0/dont_use_linux_on_samsung_ssds/

Thanks,

      Gianluca
