Hello,
I generally follow the 2x RAM as a rule of thumb for my swap partition size. Recently I have upgraded my computer and I now have 24GB of RAM. I install BSD on my primary hard drive, which is a 50GB SSD. As you can see, I do not have enough room to even have 2x my RAM size in swap. I also have a platter disk for videos/music/etc which is 1TB. I'm just trying to figure out what would be most reasonable for swap space. Usually I just have 4GB of swap space on the SSD as I feel I'll never need to touch it with 24GB of ram in the first place.
I'm just looking for opinions and suggestions.
Thanks,
Brandon
