No need for this. Please treat your modern SSD like any hard drive. There's a good chance it will outlive the system its installed in.


>* Consider disabling journalling on filesystems on SSD.

I feel this is bad advice:

"A journaling file system is a file system that keeps track of changes not yet committed to the file system's main part by recording the intentions of such changes in a data structure known as a "journal", which is usually a circular log. In the event of a system crash or power failure, such file systems can be brought back online more quickly with lower likelihood of becoming corrupted."
