In my case, when I first discovered this issue my OS was on NVMe with my home
being on an LBM pool (two 4TB HDDs + one 1TB NVMe cache) forming an 8TB volume.

Plasma is the only thing on my system that struggles with that configuration,
and I don't store anything else in /home that would benefit from an SSD more
than it would the extra space. 8 TB worth of SSDs is still prohibitively
expensive for me, and not worth it for what I store on them. Even with gaming,
the little extra load time doesn't bother me.
