As a whole, TRIM is worthwhile. However when an SSD is overprovisioned it provides a lot of benefits. TRIM-less swap in this case doesn't. The PE rate of the worst MLC SSD's at this point is @3000 AFAIK. Given those figures and average desktop swap rate at my estimation, prioritizing write endurance on an SSD is not beneficial(especially with a SanForce). If you are swapping continuously something like ZeusRAM may be required. There are probably other solutions available as well as other 3rd party ones. If you are swapping a lot, the best case is usually to add RAM. -- Adam Vande More _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
