Hello,

I'm going to setup F20 with a new SSD disk (256gb Samsung 840 PRO) and was wondering about best practices for Over Provisioning during partitioning.

hmmm.  I just ordered a Crucial M500 256GB SSD for my new install.  I thought I would have it all to work with (currently using a 320GB HD, so that is a 64GB reduction already).  Are you implying here that you need to not use all of the SSD drive so that it has some swap around?

I chose the M500 over the 840 based on price and reviews.  The M500 uses MLC NAND compared to the 840 using TLC NAND.

FYI, be aware there appears to be a queued TRIM bug with the M500 where it may be causing silent data corruption. I wouldn't use discard on this, or any, SSD, in production until it's been well tested.

Until the industry gets its act together on TRIM, I think we're probably better off executing fstrim once a week with a cron job at a time the computer is likely to be idle.
