I have Debian/testing installed completely in my 120GB SSD. I have

Electronic components don’t begin to grind or buzz as they grow
older. They work – and then they don’t.
So do I have to consider this risk and move the /home and /root
directories to an HDD as they contain the Personal Data of each user,
and only keep the Operating System files in the SSD ? How do you
people keep the /home and /root directories, when you install the OS
in an SSD ? (I have an Ultrabay Caddy, in which I can connect the HDD
also in my Thinkpad T61).
this is debian-laptop list, are you really talking about a laptop?
I consider two possibilities for my home PC
1. mirror SSD and HDD (I currently have two old 120 HDDs in mirror)
2. using bcache, dm-cache or flashcache (cache HDD on SSD)
maybe someone could share experience with some of these...
