For anyone needing too much disk space to afford an all SSD machine,
you can do what I do. My root partition is SSD (actually NVMe), so that
/usr, /usr/bin, /etc and the like come straight off electronics. I
mount /home and other data-centric, changing pieces, including /var and
/run, from spinning rust partitions. My /tmp is a temp file system
(tempfs).
