SSDs and journalling Filesystems

H

HFS+

Senior member
Is it safe to use a journalling filesystem on a flash drive or SSD? Like i am using fat32 on my 32gb flash drive as it is not journalled while HFS+ is as well as NTFS
 
Yes. Journalled file systems are recommended for use on SSDs.

File systems such as FAT which do not use journals rely on constant writing/rewriting of the FAT table in order to maintain system data integrity. This heavy write load is avoided in journalled file systems, improving performance and reducing total host writes on an SSD (even the filesystem overhead would be totally negligible).
