Thoughts on setting up swap on SSD?

That’s a very insightful command. Thanks for sharing! My SSD is only a humble 256GB but those numbers you mentioned are very reassuring :laughing:

Check the TBW ratings for your drive first. 256GB drives usually have half the TBW of a 512GB one. I gave some average values (maybe a little optimistic even). Also those numbers are relevant for my usage patterns, it’s best to monitor yours for a period of time and draw your own conclusions based on your drive TBW and your usage pattern.

I did some light research and I think mine has a 150TBW rating. So, I guess I’m fine for now since I only use this for the faster boot up and some basic files while I use my bigger HDD as a main storage for large files. <10 years is still quite a good runtime too. By then I’d be thinking of replacing this one. But I’ll be cautious and take your advice and monitor my SSD usage for a while :grin:
