Yeah, and I should have mentioned LMDB as another example of how state of the art storage engines tend towards log structured allocation management. The RamCloud design is another example.
The way I'd summarize the case on SSD's is: the FTL is going to log structure your writes anyhow, you might as well align with that and recoup what you can.
