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:
“A common and natural result of an undue respect for law is, that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Not out of those, on whom systems of education have exhausted their culture, comes the helpful giant to destroy the old or to build the new, but out of unhandselled savage nature, out of terrible Druids and Berserkirs, come at last Alfred and Shakespeare.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
