Bob Morales posted:Why? It's pushed by Arch & Ubuntu users as a way to lower the amount of writes ever-so-slightly. I say don't do it.

Bob Morales posted:Trying to mimize writes to your SSD with all these goofy tricks is like being the kid who got new rollerblades for christmas but never wore them because he didn't want to mess them up. By the time he decided to use them outside, they were too small. To be fair, out of this list here, I really don't see the problem in using a lot of the tricks to cut down on writes/space usage, since a lot of them are a one-time set up kind of thing that really only require you to have extra RAM. This is no problem for me, since my new laptop has 8GB thanks to plummeting RAM prices and I rarely ever use over 1. Things I do/have done: -Place Firefox profile and /tmp in RAM (2gb reserved for temp, could get away with less) -Compiling in /dev/shm - /dev/shm is a temporary ram disk, might as well do this if you have spare RAM since it's still marginally faster than an HDD, and the biggest difference in disk writes the Arch wiki mentions in the noatime section comes from a clean make. -Use ext4 - it's pretty much the default now anyways for most Linux distros -Set a low amount of swap space just in case, but set swappiness to 1 (1-100) -Change scheduler from CFQ to noop Keep in mind that my time is basically worthless so I don't have trouble finding time to add in all these little fixes, though, although all of these can be done in a few commands each. My question is: is the "proper partition alignment" thing listed there worth it or not?
