I have a PC with a

  • 250GB SSD &
  • 500GB SATA HD.

I will have Linux root (/) in the SSD disk after the installation.

I want to minimize ssd utilization as much as possible.
Therefore, I will put the /home and SWAP on the SATA disk.
Is there anything else that I should put on SATA hard disk to decrease the utilization of SSD?

/var and /tmp definitely go to HD from this perspective.

I always smile on people that buys expensive SSD's and then configures system for anything else but performance. I hope you are informed that even if you put /home on your modern SSD, that drive will last for at least 10-12 years?
Common, be a man and put everything on your SSD! Mount your HDD as /archive for porn, and mount /tmp into RAM to boost performance even further. Get rid of swap partition as well! It's not needed if you have more than two gigs of RAM on Linux, and not going to use hibernate option (which is useless if your system boots in 10 seconds anyway, right?).
