SSD-optimized File Systems
Usually the same file systems used on hard disk drives can also be used on solid state disks. In most of the cases it is useful that the file system supports the TRIM command which helps the SSD to recycle discarded data. There is no need for the file system to take care of wear leveling or other flash memory characteristics, as they are handled internally by the SSD. That being said, some flash file systems using a log-based design (F2FS, JFFS2) will help reducing write amplification on SSDs (especially on situations where only very small amount of data is changed, such as when updating file descriptors).
While not a file system feature, operating systems must also align partitions correctly to avoid excessive read-modify-write cycles. Other features designed for hard disk drives, most notably defragmentation, are disabled in SSD installations.
Listed below are some notable computer file systems which are optimized for solid-states drives.

Famous quotes containing the words file and/or systems:
“I have been a soreheaded occupant of a file drawer labeled “Science Fiction” ... and I would like out, particularly since so many serious critics regularly mistake the drawer for a urinal.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
“No civilization ... would ever have been possible without a framework of stability, to provide the wherein for the flux of change. Foremost among the stabilizing factors, more enduring than customs, manners and traditions, are the legal systems that regulate our life in the world and our daily affairs with each other.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
