Size was one issue I thought of but I was more concerned with the wear
and tear part but that was explained by others. It seems that is not as
much a issue any more.
At one time, I had a /data directory. I stored large stuff there:
camera pics, videos, audio stuff and such. If you put /home on SSD, you
could always put the larger stuff on another mount point. One thing
about Linux, you can mount stuff wherever you want.
Post back how it works out and any speed improvements you see. I'm
really curious since I would like to get one that is at least big enough
for the OS itself. My /home is over 1Tb, that is Tb too. I'm not buying
one big enough for all that. lol
