I bought a new SSD to put in a laptop.

If I put it in, boot and then install Ubuntu as normal will it all work fine or are there certain changes to make for SSD?

I've seen talk of optimisation and other changes but the posts are quite old and I don't know if these are required, advised or barely even necessary.

  • If you take a gander at Installing Ubuntu on a SSD I think you'll find all the information you'll need. – Gansheim Apr 12 '17 at 15:20
  • Customization/optimization/tweaking is The Holy Grail of some Linux users. It doesn't mean that you must, need or should do it, unless there are problems. – mikewhatever Apr 12 '17 at 15:25
  • It should just work. – You'reAGitForNotUsingGit Apr 12 '17 at 15:33

    I do not do much. All new partitioning tools will create partitions with correct alignment. Just do not use a very old copy of gparted. I do reduce writes with noatime, I prefer my own trim script with logging. And do not care about swap anymore, but have over provisioned only because I do not use all of drive. https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/ssd – oldfred Apr 12 '17 at 15:49
