I don't know, if this would be an option to you, but if I were you, I'd consider a smaller SSD in combination with a bigger HDD.
Somewhat simplified, my partition scheme is /home on HDD and all the rest (including /var) on SDD. From my experience, using this scheme, a 128GB SSD is way more than sufficient for Fedora. A 64GB SSD would also work, but then diskspace on SSD will be tight - Certainly, YMMV ;)
That's the setup I essentially have now with two standard drives. My original plan was to get a 64GB SSD just for root but now that I have a drive failing I'm modifying it a bit.
My BackupPC folder is about 190GB (backs up my home from the other drive, yes, if the whole system goes I'm screwed but at least the data is on two different drives; my HTPC, and my wife's laptop). That's why I'm looking at a 256GB SSD. A little bigger would be awesome but not in the budget.
Here's my current disk usage:
$ df -hx tmpfs
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_hobbes-lv_root 29G 20G 8.1G 71% /
/dev/mapper/vg_home-lv_home 909G 521G 347G 61% /home
/dev/sda1 969M 139M 764M 16% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg_hobbes-lv_var 429G 189G 221G 47% /var
I made /boot big because I sometimes put bootable ISO's there (like System Rescue CD) but I think I can safely bump that back down to 500MB.
"/" I'm using about 20GB, I don't see that growing much so I'll probably shrink that partition to 25GB, 5 GB of additional packages would be a LOT.
Thanks,
Richard
