Hmm, if you have an SSD, you might look at using bcache to speed up
write access to your array. On the other hand, with only one SSD you
potentially lose redundancy - do SSDs crash and burn like hard drives do?
If the SSD is only being used as a boot/OS drive - so near idle in
normal use - I'd swap it for a cheap small laptop hard drive and find
somewhere else to put the SSD to better use.
Cheers,
John.
