Hello,
I'm going to setup F20 with a new SSD disk (256gb Samsung 840
PRO) and was wondering about best practices for Over Provisioning
during partitioning.
hmmm. I just ordered a Crucial M500 256GB SSD for my new
install. I thought I would have it all to work with (currently
using a 320GB HD, so that is a 64GB reduction already). Are you
implying here that you need to not use all of the SSD drive so
that it has some swap around?
I guess it's really depending on what SSD you are using. I'm not sure
though, that's why I'm asking.
I am doing some more reading on the wiki and found one article
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Acer_Aspire_One) that discourages using
swap on the SSD becuase of slow write times. Is that still true?
Also discourages using LVM. I have often wondered why I use LVM on my
notebooks; I don't see the gain over just plain EXT4 partitions. I have
read a number of articles and I can't find any solid advantage.
I chose the M500 over the 840 based on price and reviews. The
M500 uses MLC NAND compared to the 840 using TLC NAND.
840 *PRO* is using MLC NAND
