Moving some of OSs directories onto SSD

Hello guys, I bought Lenovo IdeaPad 700-15 year ago and it has 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD. I've installed ArchLinux onto 1TB HDD and optimized it for my needs. But now I would like to try to move some files onto the ssd to boost performance. Is it possible to move some directories like /opt , /usr and stuff? I don't know much about fs on ssds Thank you very much

This has nothing to do with the filesystem you use for your SSD. You can create separate partitions for /usr and /opt on your SSD and simply mount them. Don't forget to add the mounts to your /etc/fstab.

Note that you will need to rebuild your initramfs with the usr hook if it is on a separate partition.
