I have Ubuntu 18.04 installed on my notebook with 128G SSD. I found articles about SSD-cache for HDD usage. Does any reason exist to setup in-memory cache for SSD? Will I have any performance bonus in this case? I don't use HDD at all.

If there are a reasons to setup in-memory cache for SSD - how can I do it?

I don't think you need to do anything special, as free RAM is used for caching by default. – mikewhatever Mar 27 '19 at 15:56
How much RAM do you have? – WinEunuuchs2Unix Mar 27 '19 at 17:54

@AlexGusev If you want to reduce the number of writes on your ssd, you can consider using tmpfs. Please read the detailed explanation here – Sirajus Salekin Nov 20 '19 at 07:36
