(read up on trimmimg - doing a manual trim before the drive reaches full allocation (they delete files, but do not erase them because erasing is time consuming so its an OS controlled operation) or 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.
