Optimize SSD on Linux
After installing the SSD on your laptop, there are some adjustments that need to be done so that it is optimal . I'm using Fedora 30 File system My Partition is: Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors Disk model: Samsung SSD 860 Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: DF4E716F-F00A-40F3-8176-C97A52F36998 Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sda1 2048 253951 251904 123M EFI System /dev/sda2 253952 976773119 976519168 465.7G Linux LVM And logical volume are: Root, Home, Archive, VM, Games Format as ext4 with default block size (4096 best for SSD), and set reserved block to 1% # mkfs.ext4 -L Home -m 1 /dev/VG/YourHome Copying I did not reinstall linux but only made partitions and copied files from the old disk. Hard links and sparse files may cause disk usage larger on target
