Ensure TRIM is enabled and partition boundaries are correct (read the wiki). apart from that, it's just faster storage.

Re: arch on SSD with no HDD

I've recently switched to the NOOP scheduler for my SSD but in all honesty I can't tell the difference.

If it's a relatively modern SSD, you don't need to worry about minimising writes (I use swap on mine).
