Thought about it - yes. Tried anything - no. We have no idea what an SSD's FTL is doing under the covers, and no way to find out thru a SATA/SCSI command interface. Trim and hole punching are no advantage - it's not safe to do them before a page may be safely reused, as soon as a page can be safely reused, we'll probably be writing new data into it.
