Which is why you want it on the fastest device possible. The whole point
of a faster drive is to speed up IO intensive operations. If you then
consign specifically those operations to the old HDD, why bother?
Thing like video files can go on a hard drive because they are read far
more slowly than the drive's speed anyway.
