Well, the Intel SSD 320 in this ThinkPad T520 so far didn´t seem to notice any significant abuse due to BTRFS in use: smartctl-a-2013-03-14 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 5250 172 Erase_Fail_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 169 225 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 202408 226 Workld_Media_Wear_Indic 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 2203778 Above value has always been in that range… according to a PDF from Intel the Media_Wearout_Indicator below is important. 233 Media_Wearout_Indicator 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 241 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 202408 I have about 20 GB / on BTRFS since the beginning. Thats almost 2 years now. Now I also have 200GB /home on BTRFS, since a month or two. Granted this is more data, but unless proven by observed I/O patterns or so, I suggest being careful with suggestions that BTRFS abuses SSD disks out of just your own experience and suggest to ask it as a question in case you do not know for sure. According to my irregular data points I also see no significant increase in wear out after I switched BTRFS to /home although it is a bit premature to say for sure - I will continue to have a look at it: martin@merkaba:~/Computer/Merkaba/Intel SSD 320> for F in $(ls smartctl*) ; do echo "$F" | cut -c1-21 ; egrep "(Wear|Host_Writes|Erase_Fail_Count| Power_On_Hours)" "$F" ; done smartctl-a-2011-05-19 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 233 Media_Wearout_Indicator 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 smartctl-a-2011-05-19 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 1 233 Media_Wearout_Indicator 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 smartctl-a-2011-06-23 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 324 172 Erase_Fail_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 225 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 19158 226 Workld_Media_Wear_Indic 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 2203342 233 Media_Wearout_Indicator 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 241 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 19158 smartctl-a-2011-06-23 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 324 172 Erase_Fail_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 225 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 19158 226 Workld_Media_Wear_Indic 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 2203342 233 Media_Wearout_Indicator 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 241 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 19158 smartctl-a-2011-06-23 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 325 172 Erase_Fail_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 225 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 19160 226 Workld_Media_Wear_Indic 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 2203342 233 Media_Wearout_Indicator 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 241 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 19160 smartctl-a-2011-06-23 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 320 172 Erase_Fail_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 225 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 19041 226 Workld_Media_Wear_Indic 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 2203342 233 Media_Wearout_Indicator 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 241 Host_Writes_32MiB 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 19041 smartctl-a-2011-12-16 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 271 Mow thats funny.

Basically the wear out related values didn´t change much at all. The indicicative Media_Wearout_Indicitor didn´t change at all. I leave about 20 GB of the 300 GB free at most times, according to a paper from Intel this helps long time performance and from my understanding of SSD workings it also helps long evity.
