/home is fine to go on the HDD, it's not going to slow things down.
Actually it would make a rather noticeable difference, I didn't
measure exactly how much, in some apps loading times, e.g.:
- Firefox will read/load (and write) the user's profile from
~/.mozilla, having it on the SSD should be beneficial
- Opening an ePub in e.g. Calibre, having the file on the SSD, it's faster
- Even just opening a folder in Dolphin, the folders that reside on
the HDD (which are symlinked in my ~/) open a little bit slower than
the ones on the SSD
"a little bit slower" is my point. A typical user is not going to
notice, but it depends on the usage. In my case, doing development on a
massive Java project in Eclipse, yes, having it on an SSD makes a huge
difference.
My point is, if you have an SSD, make use of the speed (otherwise why
shell out and get one in the first place).
In this case, the SSD is already being shared between Windows and
Fedora, so there is not going to be a lot of space. It makes more sense
to put the / partition on the SSD to take advantage of the biggest speed
up and use the large HDD for user files.
