Hi,
I am thinking of buying a Phoenix Pro 240GB SSD. I will be running FreeBSD on my laptop and I have read some people saying that it is a bad idea to have swap space on an SSD. These were all relatively old posts in terms if SSD's presence on the scene so maybe this worry is no linger relevant. The 240GB drive will be the only drive in my laptop. I really don't expect to have SWAP used all that often as there will be 8GB of RAM. Only the occasional core dump or kernel panic. If one partition of the SSD runs through it's life cycle, does that corrupt the entire drive? Any help is appreciated. This laptop will be used for occasional gaming, internet surfing, running CRM software, and programming. Thanks.
