know many of you have been using SSD's for many years so I'm
hoping you guys can clear up some questions I have on how to use a
SSD. I have gleaned so far from various Linux fora a lot of
confusing and sometimes contradictory advice on using trim. Some
say insert "noatime,discard" in each partition line in
/etc/fstab, others say to run trim as a chron job periodically,
others say run trim at boot, while some say not to worry about it.
<br>
<br>
The next bit of confusion to me is "partition alignment" and/or
"partition optimization." How do you partition to obtain the
desired partition alignment?
<br>
<br>
Bonus question: is there a utility to trim Win XP? I have Win XP
on a computer and use it one time a year, when I install my tax
software. I'd like to clone the drive containing Win XP as well
as several Linuces to a SSD, after clearing up the questions I
asked above.

TIA

I googled for 'linux sdd optimization' and found this:<br>
