As far as I know all SSDs use the Advanced Format 4k sector size. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_format And therefore need to be aligned properly to avoid wasted block reads. I don't have a list of known good references but searching just now turned up these that seemed interesting and useful. YMMV. I am sure I missed many other excellent references. http://blog.nuclex-games.com/2009/12/aligning-an-ssd-on-linux/ http://lifehacker.com/5837769/make-sure-your-partitions-are-correctly-aligned-for-optimal-solid-state-drive-performance http://tytso.livejournal.com/2009/02/20/ Bob
