Same here:

storage3:~ # gpart show da0
=>         40  42970644400  da0  GPT  (20T)
           40         2008       - free -  (1.0M)
         2048  42970640384    1  freebsd-zfs  (20T)
  42970642432         2008       - free -  (1.0M)

This is still HDD, but I set up SSDs in pretty much the same way. Usually
it is hard to get information on the internal magic (erase block size
etc.) of SSDs. In the end, we usually struggle more from write patterns we
often see here that only change a few bytes in many (several 10k) files
every few minutes, leading to heavy write amplification.
