Thanks, Tom
Thanks to all for the responses! Will get the new SSD in a few days and am looking forward to much faster boot times.
Run them as you'd normally do, there's no need to complicate things. It's state of the art technology and everything is basically done for you by the fw. That said, you should read these few links[1] and balance it out basically. Alignment is what is most important when setting up the partitions for life and performance. Other than that, ext4 mount flags and mindful use of high I/O operations is enough. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Solid_State_Drives https://wiki.debian.org/SSDOptimization I have units that are 5 yrs old now and still perform as new with few bad sectors (where that 20% of extra storage comes into play). Anecdotal, so take it with a grain of salt.
Thanks, Tom
