Makes perfect sense if one of them is a SSD. Put all the unchanging
stuff on the SSD, and boot to it. The spinning disk contains all the
writeable stuff.

For instance, my Daily Driver Desktop (DDD) has / on a 256GB SSD,
and /usr is there too. /home and /var and some of my special data
directories are mounted on my spinning drives. This gives a lightning
fast running of software, but the size of spinning disks.
