I know it used to be recommended to leave some unformatted space on solid state drives for the drive to spread wear across the drive. Looking now it seems some people are still saying that but also some are saying that the manufacturers set aside some space automatically for drive management and also that unused space in a formatted partition can be used for wear levelling.
Can I just go ahead and format the whole of my new drive and just avoid filling it completely with data?
