Hi, Roberto, I understand your point. One is more
likely to be shuffling data than programs, therefore it is better
to put the data on the faster storage medium.
But the way I understand it, there is a limited number of times
that one can write to a SSD due to the intrinsic nature of the
media. Therefore I would not like to put write intensive files
like data, caches, etc on this drive.
Makes sense?

What I'm going to say will not help you, it will confuse you
more, instead. :-)
Are you sure you want fast OS files and slow data files?
Couldn't it be the opposite?
Do you boot often? Do you start programs often?
Or maybe you have programs running all the time and just want
fast access to your data
(e.g. searches)?
The most dynamic things (/home, /var) should go the SSD, to
take advantage of the performance.
Boot time.... will you consider hibernating to SSD? Not bad at
all.
As a general rule, you will see a huge speed difference
between SSD and HDD.
The reliability of the SSD is often questioned; in my
experience, using a few of them
last years, I did not record any kind of problem.
You should have backups anyway, I think.
A good backup strategy is to make a RAID1 SSD+HDD, and usually
run in "broken mirror" mode
on the SSD, just syncing the HDD every few days/weeks.
(Added confusion, I told you...)

You mean that all this hype over SSD's and they're LIMITED? I
thought they were supposed to be BETTER than the spinning drives of
today? Exaclty how are they better if they come "out-of-the-box"
with limitations? Just curious...
