With the coming of the new filesystem EXT4, create a mode which optimizes the performance on SSD drives.

I don't know if there would be any design trade-offs between speed and lifespan in such a profile but SSD's short write lifespan issues are a bit of a myth so if a call needs to be made between them we should go for speed!

See this site for why it's only a problem on the smallest of devices...

Like laptop-mode there can be a package that change all ssd related points in one way.

Why not make the SSD option in the installer for all file systems.
It is easy to create it, simply activate SSD mode in ext4 and btrfs and write "noatime" into /etc/fstab.

Here's how it could look like:

(This may be just an addition/clarification to solution #1)

If a SSD is detected, the installer should inform the user how suitable a certain filesystem system is. In particular, if it supports the TRIM command.
Depending on the user's experience, there could be just an indicator (green, thumbs up...) or a complete explanation of the benefits of a filesystem with TRIM.

the installer should have some hardware auto-detect (detecting ssd and uefi) and show suggestions (your computer could behave like this... do you want to change this options ?) or show multiple options: install this / that; disable uefi / ssd; create more parttions and so on....


this should work on some lenovo models:

1. Disabe RAID (select ACHI in BIOS)

2. Install windows to SSD.

3. Move user data and pagefile to HDD. Disable file indexing on SSD. Install most not system programs to HDD to economy free space. It will be even faster than cache, but you need to install big programs and games on D:\. Not every man can do it. Thats why they use cache as default.

4. Boot Ubuntu from CD, type in terminal "sudo apt-get remove dmraid"

5. Install Ubuntu as usual

6. If GRUB doesnt appear (it is because of UEFI) use Boot-Repair utility as described here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair

If GRUB appears, but Ubuntu doesn't boot, then you need to break dmraid utility: 7.1 Boot Ubuntu from CD 7.2 type in terminal "sudo apt-get remove dmraid" 7.3 Open "Computer" on the desktop and open the disk where you have installed Ubuntu. On the top of the window will be some letters like 7bgetgu4uf87wch7wir6. Type in terminal "sudo rm /media/your partition/sbin/dmraid" where you replace your partition with this letters 7.4 "sudo touch /media/your partition/sbin/dmraid" and "sudo chmod +x /media/your partition/sbin/dmraid"
