You could, but there are two things to consider:
- That will be much, much harder to setup
- It is probably not a good idea to combine a fast SSD and slow HDD drive in the same volume.
Oh ok, but can I use the ssd to install games later?
Yes. You can always symlink or bind mount a part of the SSD to a specific place under /home
Great! So back to the installation, Do I give all the ssd space to root?
That is up to you. I usually create one big partition using all the space but there is no “correct” answer in this case.
I’ll do it the same way you do then

I don’t see anything to format the drive. Also, do I leave root as ext4?
Okay, so the only drive that I can format is sdb
ext4 is fine if that is the filesystem you want to use. That is the default. If you prefer a different filesystem, that is also fine.
Ok, I already assigned sda as root and sdb as home, Do I ignore the “Install boot loader on”?
Um, do I continue with the installation?
