Dell published a paper on SSD use some years ago.  At that time, the 
recommendation was to format to ext2 (non-journalling) and if there is 
enough ram, to run with no swap partition.  SSD supports a limited 
number of writes over it's lifetime, and anything that can reduce the 
overall number will prolong overall life.  I'm not sure about second 
hand for that reason ...
