Aha, ssd_spread, looks like it's meant for lower grade SSD's.

    Btrfs: add mount -o ssd_spread to spread allocations out

    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.
