With SSDs it is important you overprovision your partition(s) in terms of individual partition size so they don't fill up. I tend to always leave a little empty space on an SSD device when I create partitions, which may be unnecessary these days, because the OEMs tend to do the same themselves: https://www.kingston.com/us/ssd/overprovisioning
