I'm mounting mechanical HDDs with "noatime" for digital audio
workstation usage. Regarding the mount manpage "noatime" has got a
pitfall, you should take into account.

# man mount | grep "relative to modify" -B1 -A3
relatime
  Update inode access times relative to modify or change time.  Access
  time is only updated if the previous  access  time was earlier than the
  current modify or change time.  (Similar to noatime, but it doesn't
  break mutt or other applications that need to know if a file has been
  read  since the last time it was modified.)
