If you are mixing magnetic and SSDs for the same database, having
indexes on SSDs can really help, compared to table files on SSDs, where
the benefit is more limited. Also, having current data on SSDs and
archive data on magnetic is also useful, and you usually use
time-based partitioning for such cases.
