SSD /swap

Why wouldn't you want it on your SSD other than space requirements?

SSD has limited number of writes/rewrites.
Swap is basically short-term scratch paper for when the OS runs low on physical RAM; as such, it may get hit with more writes & rewrites more frequently than any other partition, drastically shortening the length of time until data cells start getting stuck and become unusable.

Old SSD's would have been grinded to death by a busy server swap partition, modern ones not so much.

I know a lot of people using SSDs as L2ARC cache on zfs file systems and it works very nice.

One thing to keep in mind its to back up ''/'' to an HDD from time to time in case of sudden death, Samsung SSD's locks themselves to a read only status when they die, but only through the current session, after a reboot they commit sudoku.

top fucking kek, we're in 2017 not 2013.
SSDs can withstand constant writing of TBs of data per day and last a whole year.
your average Joe wont "degrade" his SSD just because he put his swap file on it

A finite number, no matter how high, is still a finite number; as neurotic as you may perceive my choice here to be, I still decide to eliminate unnecessar writes from my SSD.
>also post I referred to was from liek 2012 lol

Toss the SSD from 2008.

Spoilers: Everything in your computer has a finite number of uses. Better start downclocking your CPU so you don't run out of cycles.

It's from 2016 -- 500gb hynix -- and I want it to remain operational for a long time.

>>59598868
Already did -- downwatted it to 45w, too.

Have you started hibernating too? Cell mitosis is also limited.

Instead of accepting the general lifetime of a product you're trying to prolong it thereby making it uncertain when it will fail and thus highly unreliable in time. Congrats on the autism
