This is what I do. 1 64G SSD (4.5 years old now) for / , /boot, and
EFI, /home, /usr/portage, /mnt/eroot (backup partition) on 2 930G spinny
disks in softRAID-1. I have not seen ill effects from having /var on an
SSD. It's written to/read from a lot since I'm running Gentoo. When
one of the spinny disks stops working, I'll replace it with a larger
model. /home is rsynced to external USB2 disks every couple of days. I
tried using part of the SSD as LVM cache, but it didn't make anything
perceptibly faster. A benchmark might've noticed some improvement, but
a human didn't.

10T, right? I don't even think they make 10G disks these days.
