I would rate that answer with a 2 out of 10, it isn't very accurate.
SSDs themselves don't work on a partition level, they work on a block/page level.
They don't care what data is being stored, unless it is to compress said data to make it more efficient (like what SandForce controllers did).
The filesystem is the beast that cares about partitions and the like.
What all this boils down to is, OS request goes to the filesystem. The filesystem looks at its file table, and tells the SSD to get LBA 520 (for example). The SSD then looks at its table, and says, LBA 520 is pointing to block/page 3928, and it retrieves that.
The next time something writes to block/page 3928, the SSD can move that data to another block, and it keeps track of that.
So, the next time around the OS asks for the same file, it again says LBA 520 please, the SSD looks at the lookup table and says sure, here is block/page 1200. It is the same data as before, but the SSD has internally moved that data around.
There are a ton of things that SSDs do behind the scenes, so, you never actually know what block/page the data is actually on via OS calls.
Wear leveling won't have as much free space to play with, because write operations will be spread across a smaller space , so you "could", but not necessarily will wear out that part of the drive faster than you would if the whole drive was a single partition unless you will be performing equivalent wear on the additional partitions (eg: a dual boot).
No, as long as the SSD has X% free space in total, then all is fine.
Write operations happen on a block/page size, there is no "smaller space" here. You can't "wear out" one partition over the other, it doesn't work that way! (Though, look up the 840EVO fix to see a firmware bug)
Like hard drives nand-flash S.S.D's are sequential access so any data you write/read from the additional partitions will be farther away than it "might" have been if it were written in a single partition, because people usually leave free space in their partitions. This will increase access times for the data that is stored on the additional partitions.
False again, he is thinking filesystem level, NOT block/page level. At any time the SSD can map something that resides in the "first partition" to *any place* that the SSD finds an optimal location for that data. It could be anyplace on the SSD, in any NAND chip. It just depends.
Less total space increases the likely hood of writing fragmented files, and while the performance impact is small keep in mind that it's generally considered a bad idea to defragement a nand-flash S.S.D. because it will wear down the drive. Of course depending on what filesystem you are using some result in extremely low amounts of fragmentation , because they are designed to write files as a whole whenever possible rather than dump it all over the place to create faster write speeds.
A SSD's idea of fragementation is MUCH different than the filesystem's view of fragmentation.
Again, to the *filesystem*, it might seem like the data is all over the place in the partition. However, to the SSD, that data could be in sequential blocks/pages, or, anyplace. The reverse is also true, to the *filesystem* said file might show 0% fragmentation, but on the SSD, it could be anywhere, in multiple different pages. There is no 1:1 correlation between SSD mapping and filesystem mapping.
Personally, I still think it is optimal to have a dedicated OS partition that you can clean install anytime you want.
