PS: Keep in mind that your SSD has got that much free space. AFAIK if
you allocate a swap way smaller than 790 GB, the SSD does not overwrite
the same cells of that smaller space again and again, AFAIK it rotates
and does use all free cells from the 790 GB available. I treat my SSDs
without care. They probably will not survive for decades, as some HDDs
could do, but I'm using some of them already for several years and they
already survived for longer than a lot of HDDs I owned.
