I would always recommend a secure erase of an SSD - if you want a fresh start. That will mark all the NAND cells as clear of data. That will benefit the longevity of your device / wear levelling. I've been messing about with native exfat over the past few months. I found this to be a pretty

Re: [gentoo-user] the new ssd, is it happy?

Super obvious question... but can you enable AHCI mode for your SATA Controller - in the BIOS. Are you using HP supplied SATA cables - because these may be sucky crap. If so I would try replacing them - especially if they don't have latches on the plugs. I think this is the specification for

Re: [gentoo-user] portage alternatives

Michael, I tried out paludis a few months ago. I do find Portage can be a bit slow. So I thought great - a C++ version of Portage! However cave does do much stricter checking and has much more verbose output than emerge (way too much - like eix I guess). I really gave it my best shot to migrate

It would be far better to use Spinrite (like I mentioned before) - to allow a really low level access to the drive. While Spinrite is running the HDD will not be able to automatically relocate sectors. I've been blown away how effective this piece of software is - even when run with (apparently)
