How did you do that? Afaik it's advised to copy files to SSDs and not copy blockwise (dd) because layouts can differ very much and performance would suffer. >At idle, only 1.2 Gb of RAM is occupied, so not all the 12GB should be >moved to SSD. The 6 GB of RAM will be moved to the swap partition. That's why swap needs to be >= RAM for hibernating. The X61 will throttle SSD throughput as it has less bandwidth than modern SATA adapters. So, transferring those 6 GB will take time... You could limit memory with kernel boot parameter, e.g. mem=2G to test, time needed should be approximately a third (but obviously 4GB of RAM would be wasted). Best Michael
