I think it is a great idea, assuming the SSD has good write performance.
This one claims up to 230MB/s read and 180MB/s write and it's only $196.

Compared to this one (250MB/s read and 170MB/s write) which is $699.

Are those claims really trustworthy? They sound too good to be true!

The less expensive SSD is an MLC device. The Intel SSD is an SLC device.
That right there accounts for the cost difference. The SLC device (Intel
X25-E) will last quite a bit longer than the MLC device.
I understand that. That's why I picked that one to compare. It was my
understanding that the MLC drives weren't even close performance wise to
the SLC ones. This one seems pretty close. How can that be?
