Aligning partitions on an SSD for OS installation

Question

Solid State Drives

Habravchane, tell me how to do everything right.

In general, I read that for less wear on the SSD, and for faster operation, it is necessary to align partitions on the SSD. The only thing that I found useful is that the sector should be divisible by 8 without a remainder.

What I ask for help. Actually, I will divide the SSD for use by Windows and Ubuntu. So I want to know what and how to divide correctly, so that this would be the alignment of the sections.

I googled for information about this, but found nothing detailed. And I want to do it once and not bother again. I won’t divide the hard one several times, recognizing the correct solution by typing :)

Answer 1

windows 7 will do everything by itself.
ubuntu with a regular fdisk, as suggested above, too.
if suddenly you want to install windows older than 7, then first create partitions on a computer with 7 or Linux.
checking that everything was done correctly is as easy as shelling pears: the AS SSD Benchmark program shows the correct partition alignment, works under any Windows and is free.

Answer 3

If the partition is by default (with a standard fdisk), then everything is ok, the 1MB partition will be aligned.
