Re: New SSD - Cloning , Partitioning
As long as you leave 15-20% free(unpartitioned) at the end (for overprovisioning), you can partition the rest all you like.

Re: New SSD - Cloning , Partitioning
Not needed if the specs is less than 500GB as they tend to be 512GB down to 500 or 480GB by default to make easier for user to not worry about making sure partition is smaller than the actual capacity.
