ah ok, an hybrid solution.
I pay twice for linode than digitalocean, can't understand why digital ocean offers SSDs (not hybrid solution but SSDs) while linode with double the price offers a simple hybrid solution.
Your moment of Zen will come when you realize that of the tens of thousands of files on a VPS, your working set of data is all that you are really touching. Sure, you occasionally fiddle with a log or a binary, but access pattern for a Web server for example will almost entirely revolve around the data being served.
From there, you extrapolate "do I really need /var/lib/games on a superfast SSD?" and you shall become enlightened. And it is good.
