Partitioning for two separate SSDs

Question

I'm installing Ubuntu on my laptop with two SSD drives:

• 24 GB Sandisk SSD i100 with read/write performance of 450/350 MB/s
• 256 GB Samsung 840 Pro with read/write performance of 540/520 MB/s

The layout I've been thinking is:

• /boot partition
• swap partition
• partition for the rest

As you see, the Samsung should be far more performant. So, does putting any of these on the Sandisk make sense? Is there something that would? Or should I just leave it empty?

Answer 1

If you don't care about using Samsung SSD space put everything in there as it's the best choice, although putting /boot partition on Sandisk SSD can save you some space in the Samsung SSD and it won't affect too much your system, the only thing that would change is a boot time increased for about 5 or 10 seconds.
