I propose to add the following attached file (or content in 81-archlinux.rules) in /lib/udev/rules.d/

to set noop as scheduler for ssd and no rotational disk as explain in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSD#I.2FO_Scheduler.

Regards,
   90-ssd-noop.rules (0.1 KiB)

As far as I know, the cfq scheduler is designed to recognize SSDs and behave accordingly. Setting the noop scheduler is likely to reduce the read performance. I can't be sure, I'll have to find a reference.

If you look at block/cfq-iosched.c, you'll see a few calls to blk_queue_nonrot() that "do the right thing" if they drive is non-rotational- idling is skipped, seektime is adjusted, etc. So there is no need for these changes to be an Arch default.
