I was advocate for having a small very fast drive keep empty just for swap and temporary files.

Oh, you just reinvented Linux? ;-)

What does that practice have to do with Linux? One would do the same thing on an IBM 360, VAX, Windows box or any other machine with virtual memory. Photoshop has its own separate pagefile which for best performance should have another dedicated drive.

Whatever, use a raid0 for either.

Fine, use four drives for swap, not two. Make 'em 15K RPM drives while you're about it. Heck, use SSD and just resign yourself to replacing them when they use up thier write-cycles. And put those in RAID-0.

The point is that this isn't anything unique to Linux.
