€70 here (ordering from .co.uk to Ireland) but similar. So I basically have a choice between 64Gb for 30 (which lets me put on root, swap, and the stuff that needs fast work) and 250Gb for 70 (and basically move everything except archive and downloads to SSD).
I did find an option in the middle too, 128Gb for 50 https://www.amazon.co.uk/DREVO-X1-128GB-Internal-2-5-inch/dp/B01NBK3UE2/ref=... . That would let me move most everything to SSD too, but definitely avoid btrfs. Then it would be root 32G swap 20G home everything else. As long as gigabyte-sized downloads don't end up in home I should be good, but "watch what you download" is not really a runner in 2017. Just symlink ~/Downloads onto HDD?..
Or is Crucial very much better than Drevo?..
I have /home on rotating rust. Yes, one option would be to have /home on SSD, and move (symlink) Documents and Download and whatever to the HDD. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
