While operating systems and file systems are developing towards better usage of SSDs (solid state disks) it still helps to apply a few tunings to a Linux setup:
1. Append this to the kernel parameters: elevator=noop
Dependend on your system possible files to do that are /etc/default/grub, /etc/grub/grub.cfg, /boot/grub/menu.lst.
Usually you need to call update-grub afterwards.
2. mount filesystems on SSDs with the parameters noatime,nodiratime./etc/fstab is the place to do that.
