The first thing I do when setting up a filesystem is to set the mount options to full journalling - flash or spinning rust.
You can set journalling to writeback when setting up a disk, but once you're using for real live data that's a kick in the pants waiting to happen. Yes it costs speed. I consider data integrity more important (and I use ZFS on machines which are physically capable of taking multiple drives) than having fast access to corrupted data.
On a flash drive there's virtually no gain in delaying writes more than a few ms, so why do it?
