So i have a new SSD... and its like... SOOO fast (but tiny, 128Gig). But it seems to be WAY faster in linux.
(bonus: whats the best Filesystem?)

Now, am i correct in assuming that if I Gparted copy paste the

{Boot MSreserved_][__NTFS___]

in to (1st Empty space, same partition)
and it will be bootable right?

Oh and... how do I disable "Journaling" i read that I should do that.

Feel free to link any additional mods/apts/hacks/tweaks
