Hey

Whats the current best practice with ashift and (consumer grade) ssds? My ssd reports sector size of 512, should i go with ashift=9 or is it recommended to go with 12?
 
AFAIK a too large ashift is not really a bad thing but a too low one can be really bad for your performance. Someone might correct be but in case of doubt go with 12.
