Great send up of Swap!
Swap is great though. And to point out again that there are ratings on quality SSDs for the lifetime writes. Pull up the data sheet and look for "DWPD", which is "Disk Writes Per Day". Typical numbers for good swap drives are 1 and 3. If DWPD is not listed, then plan for frequent drive failures if using heavy, heavy swap (like for ZFS swap drives (Yes, these are different from a OS swap partition)).
Anyway, I just wanted to point out the DWPD statistic.
