Have ordered Samsung PCIe SSD and the appropriate card for the X1 slot on my motherboard. The idea is to run everything that isn't /home from there. Writes would therefore be relatively few. It's 1tb, so there are wide open spaces for wear leveling. Should greatly reduce drive-caused slowness.
Side note:If you are worried about the SSD as indicated by your "wear leveling" comment, if you haven't run a SSD before, the concern is now very close to a non-issue. The MTBF data and drive lifetimes are based on writing 70% of the drive every 24 hours (in your case with a 1TB drive, you would be reading/writing/deleting 700GB every day). If you are replicating large databases all day long, maybe, but for a normal user - never happens.
The performance increase (and responsiveness feel) are 4X to 5X better than old spinning drives. (a SSD will even make that old Core2 Duo box in the bone-pile run TDE blisteringly fast).
I've beaten the tar out of SSDs probably much more than most compiling big projects almost daily (like building PHP from source, etc..) for years and never had any issue with wear.
So when I started with SSD I had concerns and was worried they may fail before the normal 5-10 years I get from good spinning drives. I've now put 5-10 years of abuse on a dozen SSDs, and today's drives are every bit as robust as the best rotating kind -- and much better today than when first introduced.
Lesson: throw the SSD in the box and then drive it like you stole it -- you won't have any problems...
