There is a significant mortality rate with consumer grade SSDs. If you
are going to use one, pair it up in a software RAID1 with some matching
partitions on the hard drive and then adjust the RAID to read
preferentially from the SSD. See
http://superuser.com/questions/293144/combining-ssd-and-hard-disk-in-software-raid1
for some links explaining how to do that.
That way when the drive fails you aren't left with a completely crashed
system.
For any production system like this you should be using RAID anyway.
