hmmm. I just ordered a Crucial M500 256GB SSD for my new install.
I thought I would have it all to work with (currently using a 320GB
HD, so that is a 64GB reduction already). Are you implying here
that you need to not use all of the SSD drive so that it has some
swap around?<br>
<br>
I chose the M500 over the 840 based on price and reviews. The M500
uses MLC NAND compared to the 840 using TLC NAND.<br>

<div><i>"<span>With the introduction of the 840 Series and the

<div>Should I therefor make sure that I only fill up ~90% of the
total disk with partitions during install?</div>
<div>Then what about the -discard mount option to get the drive
to trim deleted data, Is this something I have to manually
add? </div>
<div>Is it a best practice to add this or is it better to leave
it alone or use in some other way?</div>
