I don't know whether or not you've already read the Wiki article, see [4]. I think its a good starting point for all of your questions and most of it got covered there.
Best regards, Karol Babioch

Yes I have read the arch wiki articles which are very helpful as you say - though I wanted to also hear of real experiences which you and Karol have both replied about and which are very re-assuring - and it seems that modern quality SSD drives are much less likely to have problems than those that were available only a few years ago - I have my ssd drives ready to install onto the motherboard. Now I am quite looking forward to putting the hardware together and getting the install done - and seeing how it all works with the OS running with the best practice set up according to the advice and help I have had from the replies from this list. So thank you for your help and hints and tips - it is very much appreciated. -- mike c
