I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a Intel X25-M PostVille 160 Go SSD drive with ext4. How can I tell if there's something wrong ? What should/can I do to maintain its performance/health ? Should I use TRIM, is Linux recent support for TRIM reliable ?

This may look as a duplicate of this question, but I am more asking in term of good practices and learning how to use this new technology the right way...

    Also see: http://superuser.com/questions/125069/how-do-i-verify-that-trim-is-activated-linux. And TRIM (if enabled) should run automatically in the background - the user shouldn't have to do anything specific. – sblair May 06 '10 at 09:04

You can us SMART to monitor the SSD as you'd monitor a normal HDD. Beside that, I don't think that there is anything 'special' you should think about...except regular backups.
