I went full-time FreeBSD for a couple weeks. These are my takeaways.

I doubt it. SSD's are already at max controller performance. Only physically rotating disks can take advantage of scheduled read and write operations because the non-linear round discs lose time on the head operations. On a SSD everything is adressable already without mechanics. Much less to improve.

I still believe SSD's are a consumerist scam, though There's no reason to be monotihic "everything dies at once and you have to buy a new one" devices. That contradicts the properties of the medium. It's almost permanent RAM but there's no refresh needed. Nothing has to crash on a bad byte. That's only a read failure of a disk location. We can skip it forever. Special advantage is that you can't have a wear dust particle rolling over the surface, causing infinite random damaged area.
Dunno, I've been running on this 'consumerist scam' since 2012, and I still have that SSD, it's still running and booting, and it went through more OS reinstalls and re-formats than I care to count. Hell, I'm planning to use that same SSD to play with RedoxOS when I find the time.
