this
I spent money on much more useful 2 tb space than nanoseconds faster boot times

What do you put on your SSD if not programs?
>>51750511
>>51750626
an operating system.

To be fair there was a time when that advice was useful.
In 2015 almost all "SSD optimization tricks" are outdated or completely unnecessary.
>>51751330
who is that left bottom guy
>SSD much faster
>also makes boots faster
>RAID setup still takes like 10s at boot so redundant
>>51750511
not utilizing your SSD is a normie meme I'm pretty sure
>YOUR DRIVE WILL DIE IF YOU WRITE TO IT 5 TIMES
>>51751626
>he doesn't use an SSD as an ultra-large pagefile

I only have a SSD and no other HDD and it's not even close to dying.

The only SSD I've seen 'fail' was a Crucial V300 from like 2012, and that was due to faulty firmware and had barely been written to. Even these 40GB Intels I've got in RAID0 are still going strong.
People don't understand how huge the amount of writes required to kill a drive through wear is.
Even if it's only 300 P/E cycles,
128GB: 38.4TB
256GB: 76.8TB
512GB: 153.6TB
and keep in mind the rated write endurance for the drives is a very conservative estimate, and most drives carry on just fine far past that
but hey, normies are stupid, who knew
>840 evo is still 100% health 2 years after I bought it
>written just under 10TB to it
>by the time it wears out I would have bought a new SSD or 2
Heck, 250GB SSDs have already fallen to the budget bracket.

Enjoy your bad sectors and subtle data corruption.
SSDs are crap-tier for archival data storage.

Just fell for the ssd meme...
>>51750511
>disable atime, diratime, swap, /boot, and root partition
wat
how is any of this (escept for maybe swap) a bad thing?
>>51750511
I got my fist SSD last year. Granted, it's an M.2 PCI-E one, but holy shit it's fast. I didn't expect it would be so quick.
This is coming from a 10,000rpm WD Velociraptor, that was my last OS drive. It just can't compare.
