    SSD Optimization under Ubuntu

  • Reduce flush frequency
  • Add "noatime" on /etc/fstab UUID=f0ae2c59-83d2-42e7-81c4-2e870b6b255d / ext4 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
  • Reserve some space for Over-provision
  • leave at least 7% capacity size for unformatted. (14 % is better)
  • Enable TRIM suuport
  • By default, Ubunut 16.04 will support trim operation automatically, but you could perform it manually

    hdparm - Sorage Device Configuration Tool

    Official Website: hdparm

    hdparm is a powerful and open source storage device configuration tool under Unix/Linux system. Here are the parameters I frequently used.

    • Identify Devicehdparm -I /dev/sdb
    • SecureErase hdparm --user-master u --security-set-pass p /dev/sdb
      hdparm --user-master u --security-erase p /dev/sdb
      hdparm --user-master u --security-unlock p /dev/sdb
      hdparm --user-master u --security-disable p /dev/sdb
    • Set Maximum Sector (84GB / 128GB)hdparm -N p164115504 --yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing /dev/sdb

    To pursue higher performance, storage device might implement data caching (store in the internal DRAM). However, it might have the risk of data loss, especially when a power failure occurred. For data protection purpose, we could disable write cache to prevent data loss disaster. Here are the steps for disabling write cache.
    Disable Write Cache(Assume your device mounted on /dev/sdb) hdparm -W 0 /dev/sdb Enable Write Cache hdparm -W 1 /dev/sdb Once you disable the write cache, the performance will drop sharply!!!
