Is using a USB drive as swap partition a good idea?
lemmy.mlIs using a USB drive as swap partition a good idea? - LemmyTo avoid writing so much on my SSD I’ve moved the swap partition to a 32 GB drive which goes for $7 nowadays and if it dies it won’t hurt unlike if the SSD dies.

@OptimusPrime this requires a fast usb, but isn’t then the usb more expensive then additional RAM would be?
