Does compression affect SSD's negatively?

I've been going around my SSD making sure I save as much storage space as possible, deleting system restore points, disabling hibernation, all that jazz.

 

However, I'm more interested in compression of content. I know it's not great for folders that you typically write too but for reading, it supposedly has no effect. I'm just wanting more information on this, what type of folders I should use this feature on to free up some space. I feel like I'm talking out of my ass and didn't do proper research into this but hey, why not ask here.
