Linux has some alternative filesystems in the standard kernel that are 
specifically designed to include wear-levelling in their storage-
allocation algorithms.

The firmware in SSDs that makes it pretend to work like a hard drive is 
very complex, and of course it has bugs. It would be nice to be able to 
simplify things by getting rid of most of that layer.
