    Some SSDs perform best when reusing block numbers often, while
    others perform much better when clustering strictly allocates
    big chunks of unused space.
    
    The default mount -o ssd will find rough groupings of blocks
    where there are a bunch of free blocks that might have some
    allocated blocks mixed in.
    
    mount -o ssd_spread will make sure there are no allocated blocks
    mixed in.  It should perform better on lower end SSDs.
