When I create partitions on a new SSD using Windows XP64 SP2, are they properly aligned?
The answer for XP was NO, so I'm having another question: How about (up to date) Ubuntu? According to ubuntuforums the answer seems to be YES using diskpar. Could anybody kindly confirm?
The long story:
I know, there may be problems with partitions on SSD because of misalignment. I've found many articles about it, e.g., this one: and descriptions how to fix it. However, it all includes downloading some software, and it's probably unnecessary.
1Thank you, I hoped that there's an update for Windows taking care of it. It isn't... no comment, I could start a nice rant now, but you can imagine what I mean, can't you? I hope the current Ubuntu does it right... – maaartinus – 2011-01-25T19:14:00.043
1@maaartinus - I'm not a Linux guy so I can't speak for Ubuntu specifically but I believe any Linux distro using a current kernel and standard utilities should be doing it correctly by default at this point. – Shinrai – 2011-01-25T21:19:18.687
