Sounds like a nice thing to try.  I might want to do that, actually, 
given my workflow and large storage requirements.

I have 2 TB of data on my regular workstation; however, on any given day 
I don't access even 10% of it, and in any given week I probably been 
work on one to three projects that are relatively "small" (relative to 
the size of a 100GB SSD, that is).

Thanks for the pointer, there, and I'm totally going to look into that.
