SSD partitioning to prevent total failure

Do you know the right software for such storage manipulation? I'm using the windows default one

Does formating an empty SSD write on it?

I realised I could use my SSD for windows ReadyBoost. It sounds like Intel SRT but less effective, what about that?

Ok im looking to partition my drive into 2 parts.

 

One with many files that will only be red.

One with files that may be re-written often

 

If one partition fails. Can I still use the other one?

I think yes, so long as the failures happens in the memory chip and not the controller. Though I question the effectiveness of this strategy in general. I could see it working with larger SSD's (128GB+)

I have a 256 GB SSD. im gonna back up bf4 back into my HDD. then re-partition my SSD.

 

I want to create a Partition Dedicated for my comp hibernation.

Do you have any idea how much space it will need/take?

 

I'm guessing it will need as much as the RAM that needs to be stored into the SSD, right?

Can you split already existing partitions?

Can you combinea lready existing partitions?

Awesome.

As much RAM as you have. That's all.

If you get the right kind of software, you can do whatever you want.
