I think it is a great idea, assuming the SSD has good write performance.
This one claims up to 230MB/s read and 180MB/s write and it's only $196.

The less expensive SSD is an MLC device. The Intel SSD is an SLC device.

Some newer designs use both SLC and MLC.  It is no longer possible
to use SLC vs MLC as a primary differentiator. Use the specifications.
