I've been an electronic engineer and a comoputer systems professional
for bloody years. I try to do my research and take a view on what I
read, and present that. I happen to have done a lot of research on SSDS
beyond reading some urban legend on the net, and that is what forms the
basis for what I say. If I don't have good knowledge I generally don't
respond at all.

I repeat, with modern drives there is absolutely NO direct
correspondence between what you do at the operating system partitioning
level and what happens on the disk. Why would there be?

Wear levelling means a constantly changing set of maps between logical
and physical. The disks are designed so that quirks of the host OS wont
**** them up as well.

IN other words they are SMART.
