Should I format drive with F2FS on an HP Stream laptop? Small internal drive is an eMMC.
This is a neat little laptop, brand new, but it has an eMMC 32 GB internal drive. First time owning a laptop with that type of drive in it. I understand that is a form of NAND memory, so is this an instance where I should consider formatting the drive with f2fs, versus ext4 or whatever else one would use. I know this will limit what distributions of Linux I may can install but I have found already f2fs to be faster on an external SSD drive I use for backup and storage. Any thoughts anyone?

eMMC's are more liken to a USB stick than a true SSD, so https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...2fs_usb3&num=1 would be something to take a look at to help decide.
IMO, the performance on a controlerless storage (USB stick, eMMC) isn't superior enough to ext4 for my tastes to bother with how few distro's support at this point. |
