    How to provision 1TB SSD for Linux from Windows

    This is the first time I am both provisioning an SSD and attempting a Linux (CentOS) install.

    So I have an unallocated 1TB Samsung EVO drive installed which I want to install Linux on.

    I am booting into Windows 10 on my C: drive.

    I've downloaded the Samsung Magician app but I can see NO options for provisioning the drive.(see picture)

    I want to set up the following partitions

    • /root: 15GB
    • /swap: 8GB
    • /home: remaining space

    There is also a Windows 10 Disk management application but can’t see any options for defining /root or swap provisions.

    Also, assuming I get the disk provisioned and Linux installed, are these SSD optimization suggestions worth applying as well?

    Samsung SSD over provisioning

    I have noticed in the Samsung Magician there is an option for Overprovisioning. The recommended size is 10%. Should I set the over provisioning? And if yes, is 10% to much?
    I currently have a Samsung 840 250GB. 10% is 25GB.

    From what I read on the internet, overprovisioning should already be set on SSD's, but looking at the samsung magician, it seems none is set.
