Sure you can. > Could you recommend layout for ssd and hdd, that ssd is not > overwritten unnecessarily My recommendation would be to have only /home on the HDD, unless you expect the others to become too big for the SSD. For regular use[1] the SSD should be just fine, and you should already have a good strategy to restore your operating system quickly if needed. If your SSD fails too soon it wasn't worth it anyway and hopefully you can still replace it in warranty ;) > and ideal filesystem for ssd and hdd. There is no such thing as "ideal", it depends very much on your needs. In almost all cases ext4 will be just fine for general use. You are unlikely to notice any significant improvement with other file systems unless you have very special[1] needs. Since you mentioned btrfs, do you actually need any of its additional features compared to ext4? With only one HDD its benefits will be limited (snapshots and subvolumes only?) while increasing complexity.
