First of all, I apologise if this is not the correct sub to post this, I just tested this benchmark and I couldn't believe the difference which existed between my HDD speeds and SSD speeds so I wanted to share it somewhere.
I always knew that SSD is faster than HDD but I didn't know that it could be this much faster.
So today I booted a linux distro and made the root and home partition both on SSD, then I was curious to check it's speed, I used gnome-disk to do the benchmark and I obtained these results, it is truly mind blowing the difference in speeds, I didn't do the write test yet but this itself should give a good idea about what to expect from a SSD.

I think deciding to partition my SSD space for both root and home was a good decision rather than keeping home partion for HDD. I partitioned 100 GB SSD space by splitting 35 for root, 2GB BOOT, 2GB SWAP, remaining home. I also created a 100 GB partition on my HDD and mounted it as /data, now I have created a sym link for documents and downloads folder to point to this /data, I think this is the best thing to do, my system is so smooth and snappy. I'm running POP OS
