I thought zstd level 1 was the default for SSDs and level 3 for spinning
disks? I haven't done a fresh install since Fedora 24...
In the case of fast SSDs (NVMe drives) it will probably slightly hurt
performance but as these devices have a limited number of writes, I think
vastly reducing them using compression is a good idea.
