look into mount options for SSD's (discard option) and "fstrim" for

auto trimming (which can cause serious pauses at awkward times) can
prevent serious performance degradation as it has to erase before
writing. I am not sure of the current status but in the early days of
SSD's, this was serious concern.
In short, see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SSD . :)
