Two partitions on an SSD?

Question

Solid State Drives

Good day!
I apologize in advance if the question is stupid, but I could not find adequate information.
I plan to take the SSD screw as the main one for the laptop, the question arose - does it somehow affect the SSD resource if it is divided into two sections, but about 25% of the total volume is not occupied (as far as I understand this is recommended)?
If someone throws good links to articles where there is reliable information - I will be grateful!

Answer 1

1) It is not the number of partitions that affects (the disk knows nothing about them), but only the unused space. If you make one partition at 75% of the volume, or two partitions with the same total volume, there will be no difference.
2) As noted above, usually the SSD already has a reserve supply of cells, which is simply not visible to the operating system (that is, with the indicated scheme, the total reserve will not be 25% of the disk, but more). Unfortunately, manufacturers really do not like to report whether it is exactly available and, if so, how much is reserved, so I would not rely heavily on this. By the way, sometimes it happens that there are a couple of absolutely identical models that differ slightly in the available volume - for example, OCZ Vertex 3 for 240 and 256 GB. There is an assumption that these additional 16 GB just go to the reserve, but whether this is true or not, again, is not documented anywhere. So, perhaps it makes sense to calculate the viability not by the volume of the reserve, but by the manufacturer's warranty statements: they usually give a guarantee for so many years, provided that no more than such and such a number of terabytes are recorded.

Answer 2

Does not affect. Don't bother at all, use it like a HDD, leave some free space on each partition, 5-10% is enough. You don't need to leave as much as 25%.

Answer 3

Don't worry about it - a hundred bucks ssd will last you for several years.
I have 2008k2 Windows, MS SQL 2012, Visual Studio 2012, 2013, Office 2010 on my 64GB ssd. Kingston lives
on 2TB hdd during installation, Hyper-V virtual machines live there.
on the machine 4 gigabytes of memory (does not climb anymore).
Operating time - 8 thousand hours (from morning to evening, turns off at night), SSD Life says that the planned EOL is June 2017.
Almost every evening I work in the studio - I write my project. You yourself understand that if the SSD survives until 2017, then the rest of the components will die long ago by this point (C2d 2Ghz, DDR2 4GB, MB - Asus P5KPL-CM)
If you have regular backups, you should not care when this ssd dies - go and buy a new ssd for the same hundred bucks, which will be with a newer version of sat and a volume a couple of times larger than the current one
. This is a consumable. high speed consumable. You don't fool around when your flash drive or sd card dies?
