No-but a friend of mine suggested for my new machine I use a SSD for the
boot partitions but put the Swap partition on the HDD so as to not wear
ou / kill off the SDD.  (I'm not remebering the correct words.)  The 
problem is SDDs only have some many writes and so putting a Swap 
partition on one would quickly use them up.
