I've been using a SSD for operating system and a HDD for /home for about
a year on a desktop computer. Running latest linux distribution and
didn't run into any issues (yet). The speed improvements are amazing. I
make regular backups of /home , reinstalling the o.s. is not a big deal
if the SSD fails for any reason.

I mount my / with
ext4    relatime,discard,errors=remount-ro

hdparm reports it as:
Model=M4-CT128M4SSD2

regards,
Nuno
