Perhaps also worth mentioning: there are hybrid drives that have both an 
ssd and hdd part in one casing. These drives have a built-in 
intelligence that determines which files are used most often, and those 
files are then stored on the SDD part. This way you don't need to worry 
about partitioning and what to put where.
