Thinking of replacing my Drive with a SSD. Probably happen about the time Leap 42.2 comes out.
Any words of wisdom here? I'm thinking I'll do the same drill I normally do, Fresh install, then copy /home a and /data over into similar partition sizes that I have before.
What to look out for? Any problem with a couple xfs/Luks partitions on the SSD? Brands?
Words is (non-)wisdom(tm):
Many wearleveling optimisations from the linux side will not (fully) work with encrypted fs or encrypted partitions, e.g. TRIM.
I might just use the drive's own encryption capabilities and abandon luks.
Hint 1: Go for a drive with a high TBW / drive-writes count. Hint 2: overprovisioning (leaving free non-partitioned space) helps. Hint 3: Warranty: 10 years cost (extra) money, 5 years is good sense, 3 years is (very) low.
I also saw this: http://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-theyre-all-d... He says that all these drives exceed their stated longevity by astounding amounts.
