I think that using an ssd for swap is a bit of an issue due to the number of likely writes.
http://etbe.coker.com.au/2014/04/27/swap-breaking-ssd/ I've measured swap use and found that not to be the case. If you have a system that uses swap more than the ones I measured then you should just buy more RAM. My main workstation has 4G of RAM because of a lack of DIMM sockets. My wife's workstation/server has 8G of RAM because that performs well enough and I didn't feel a need to buy any more - I can upgrade it to 16G if I feel like it but it's generally been performing well with 8G. Swap is where you need performance the most, putting it on a slower device isn't a good idea. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
