Re: [arch-general] Arch on NVMe ssd

[Dorian C via arch-general]

I wouldn't install it any other way. I'm using a samsung pro ssd, install
date was 3-15-2015 no issues whatsoever, on a 2009 HP 8200 elite mind you,
so i'm guessing my pc will go before my ssd. Proper partition alignment is
essential for optimal performance and longevity, also check this out:

Re: [arch-general] Re-install of Arch on a larger drive

I'm just curious really, but any particular reason you can't back up your
personal files and do a clean install?
