Woo thanks for the tip. I will have to explore this.

PS i have to say The Samsung Evo 850's have a 5 year warranty and seem to be working really well. I beat mine up and it is still trucking along.

I'd second if the same size doing raid-1, I do this for every client I have anymore, especially when using SSD's that seem to drop like flies.  I do this for laptops too when an option, I just make sure to buy laptops that can take two.  More common it seems with the advent of msata or m2 drives.

I'm not a fan of splitting file systems between disparate disks (one or the other dies, there went half your os), unless you're just creating a dump drive for stuff like movies and such on a spinner.

Apple isn't exactly doing magic with their use of a ssd as a cache, as usual they just sell it as such and make it brainless for users to take advantage.  Look up dm-cache, flashcache, or bcache for the same thing under linux, where dm-cache is built into newer kernels as part of lvm (maybe bcache too).

one drive and then everything else on a 2nd drive?
