Yes, by all means, get a small SSD and use it for Swap, but not only swap, also for the main system, excluding /home.
That means I need a 64Gb SSD. My current / is 46GB by df, but this is because of snapshots in btrfs (which made the system fail in the middle of upgrade to 42.3 - luckily I could recover by giving / some more space at the cost of /home - the joys of LVM). By du, / is about 18GB. So if I format the new / using ext4 and thus have no snapshots. I need 32GB for / to be sure nothing will break, I guess. And so, with swap, a 64GB SSD?
