Hot swapping is used whenever it is desirable to change the configuration or repair a working system without interrupting its operation. [3] It may simply be for convenience of avoiding the delay and nuisance of shutting down and then restarting complex equipment or because it is essential for equipment, such as a server, to be continuously active.
GParted is a GTK front-end to GNU Parted and an official GNOME partition-editing application (alongside Disks).GParted is used for creating, deleting, [3] resizing, [4] moving, checking, and copying disk partitions and their file systems.
TRIM tells the SSD to mark an LBA region as invalid and subsequent reads on the region will not return any meaningful data. For a very brief time, the data could still reside on the flash internally. For a very brief time, the data could still reside on the flash internally.
For the data to be read or written, exact sections of the magnetic media need to pass under the read/write heads that flow closely to the media surface; as a result, reading or writing data imposes delays required for the positioning of magnetic media and heads, with the delays differing depending on the actual technology.

A solid-state drive (SSD) is a type of solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuits to store data persistently. It is sometimes called semiconductor storage device , solid-state device , or solid-state disk .
One of the alternatives to zswap is zram, which provides a similar but still different "swap compressed pages to RAM" mechanism to the Linux kernel.. The main difference is that zram provides a compressed block device using RAM for storing data, which acts as a regular and separate swap device.
The other type of wear leveling is called static wear leveling which also uses a map to link the LBA to physical memory addresses. Static wear leveling works the same as dynamic wear leveling except the static blocks that do not change are periodically moved so that these low usage cells are able to be used by other data.
As a family of form factors, it defines specifications for the mechanical dimensions and electrical interfaces devices should have, to ensure compatibility between disparate hardware manufacturers. The standard is meant to replace the U.2 form factors for drives used in data centers. [1] EDSFF provides a pure NVMe over PCIe interface. One ...
