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?
