The fact that most, if not all SSD's suffer if this is not done. It causes excessive disk access during IO, because instead of reading off or writing to 1 block (aligned), it has to read or write to 2 (misaligned). This causes a performance hit in random IO and causes increased wear on the SSD during write operations, shortening it's lifetime.
