In case anyone is interested, what I ended up doing is simply moving the larger folders (Documents, Music, Mail, etc.) out of my home folder on the "boot" SSD to a separate "data" HDD, replacing them with symlinks on the SSD. That seems to work well.
I have SuperDuper! run a shell script at completion of the "boot" drive backup which replaces the symlinks on the "boot" backup with ones that point to the same folders on the "data" backup. Also seems to work well. That said, I'm not sure the modest speed gain of the SSD was worth it in a Mac Pro. Probably much better suited for a laptop. |

My SSD is a OCZ Vertex 2 100GB. Works well but appears it's virtually impossible to update its firmware on a Mac, and difficult on a Windows PC. I'll read the info you've linked, and will report back here if I change anything. Thanks. |

Okay, I switched to just one symlink on my boot SSD to the entire Users folder on the HDD. I do like that better, simpler. Actually, I thought I already tried that initially, but ran into problems. Works fine now. Thanks, Gryzor.
