If on Linux, try running fstrim from time to time. More free space makes life of SSD's garbage collector / defragmenter much easier. I've anecdotally noticed that running fstrim reduces freezeups under heavy load from 1-2s to almost nothing on my Toshiba drive.

On Windows 10, I believe it's supposed to automatically TRIM free space on NTFS.
