Right - the question stems from the thought:
"If I put the OS on the SSD [the most expensive drive with finite write
cycles], how do I separate the OS specific "stuff" such as the "Libraries" and
the temp file generation off the OS partition?"
I need to read up on that - basically I understand that when separating the
OS/apps onto the SSD you need to fix the OS so that it isn't writing a lot of
temporary/short term stuff to that drive.

Jumping in again, this is pure economics:
- how much does an SSD cost ./ MB;
- how much does a spindrive cost / MB;
- how much of the expensive disk do you want to hand over to pictures;
- what will you do when the expensive drive is filled with 'library' stuff
Like Jared, I use a NAS for that stuff, as well as for backup.
It's a 'business case' decision.
