Windows, Ubuntu and SSD

Question

Solid State Drives

Habravchane, the help of skilled people is necessary.

I got an SSD, the computer already has a 1Tb hard drive. The computer needs a dual boot. I want to do everything as follows:

SSD : Divide into two equal parts, ntfs and ext4 (I will disable journaling), install Windows and Ubuntu. Plus I will leave 10% unallocated area.

HDD : Make 200 gigs in ext4, the rest - in ntfs. Just make the folders Programm files, Temp, and games :) The same for Ubuntu, make the /tmp and /home sections here.

Will it be convenient? With all the pandemonium I want to ensure that the system itself is on the SSD (and, in fact, achieve faster operation), and place the rest of the files that are often overwritten on the HDD in order to increase the lifetime of the SSD.

I will clarify that almost all multimedia files will be stored on the server. On Ubuntu, I will mount everything using NFS, but on Windows, samba will help. Various files that are needed for work will be stored on the ntfs partition so that they are available under both windows and ubuntu.

Maybe you have some suggestions?

Answer 1

Don't disable logging and don't leave 10% unallocated. In general everything is good.
By the way, what is the advantage of a dual block over a virtual one? Unless you write games for both platforms.

Answer 2

Do not greatly extend the life of the SSD if you put Windows on it even in this form.
Unfortunately, I don’t know how and if it’s possible, but for Windows, not only Program files with Temp need to be transferred, but also the user profile, including program profiles, since this is where they store their settings, cache, and so on.
You can get the most out of an SSD in terms of lifetime on Linux if you put only rarely updated information (the system for the most part), and everything else on the HDD.
Put Windows on the HDD, and mark the SDD as described in the article and comments , then the SSD will last a very long time.
If installing both OSes on an SSD is fundamental, then try to transfer the maximum of frequently updated Windows data to the HDD.
