You don't strictly need to do anything special. You may want to read the advice here anyway: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/TipsAndTricks?highlight=%28ssd%29#Extending_flash_memory_life I strongly recommend against disabling the journal, though. > Are SSD drives supported by Linux? Yes, including TRIM support. > Is there any official documentation about this topic? None that I know of. Everything is supposed to "just work" (including block size issues). > Could someone share its experience about SSD's in Debian or GNU/Linux > in general. I am using an Intel X25m (1st generation) for almost two years now and apart from a few tmpfs and no swap, I haven't done anything special in order to optimize its usage. My model lacks TRIM support, though, and I think I can notice the performance penalty. J. -- I'm being paid to act weirdly. [Agree] [Disagree] <http://www.slowlydownward.com/NODATA/data_enter2.html>
