If you are using SSD's in raid i would suggest underprovisioning. Unless you raid card or raid software supports trim. even still it is a good idea to extend drive life.

I've used ssd's since they've been around, super speed boost for any desktop really, but I'd run them typically in raid1, and for the first few years they'd reliably die, one disk or another around the 6mo mark.  I didn't do trim, as it defeats luks encryption, and often simply doesn't work otherwise with various filesystem layers (mdraid, luks, zfs, etc), and well yeah, they all died horrible deaths.  Not since Samsung introduced wear-leveling in their SSD architectures did the problem mostly go away, and I've begun to use Samsung SSD/M.2 (even sd cards) exclusively for this, and have not lost a disk since.

Not sure how commonly this is used in other vendors, but something if ever doing raid or other enterprise-y functions, something to look for.
