I still have some concerns about SSD stuttering and limited life-span, but I hope that following the instructions below I will minimize these problems:

  • Using noatime and nodiratime

UUID=da949f54-f6a5-4dd3-a293-8b2925834baf /               ext4    noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro0       1

  • Setting up ramdisk on heavily used temp folder:

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
tmpfs /media/ramdisk tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
tmpfs /var/run tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0

  • Changing I/O Schedule to “deadline”

So far, no problems.
