Hello,
I've stumbled upon this article:
http://storagemojo.com/2011/06/27/de-dup-too-much-of-good-thing/
Reportedly Sandforce SF1200 SSD controller does internally block-level
data de-duplication. This effectively removes the additional
protection given by writing multiple metadata copies. This
less-than obvious downsides.
Just an idea by a kernel and FS ignorant.
