That would be unwise - as HDDs are much slower (and still much more common),
optimizing for SSDs at the expense of HDD performance will cause overall
performance to be much worse until HDDs become rare.
I mean, assuming that such optimizations aren't just theoretical.
Hard disks are dead today for anyone who cares about performance.
I still use them, but only for secondary storage.
