Just a word of caution about the informative link posted by Oussebon...

Where they talk about using multiple drives to improve performance these must be separate physical drives, you won't get those benefits from partitioning a larger drive. Even though the OS reports a partitioned drive as separate volumes, at the hardware level they are all one drive and there can only be one read/write operation in progress to a drive at a time. Drive partitioning is a data management tool, not a performance tool.

As Oussebon says, all your installed programs should go on the SSD.
