I think it is a great idea, assuming the SSD has good write performance.
This one claims up to 230MB/s read and 180MB/s write and it's only $196.

Compared to this one (250MB/s read and 170MB/s write) which is $699.

The less expensive SSD is an MLC device. The Intel SSD is an SLC device. That right there accounts for the cost difference. The SLC device (Intel
X25-E) will last quite a bit longer than the MLC device.
