   Why not use an SD card as the system disk, booting OS + apps and reserve   
   the hdd for data?   
      
   The trick is to separate app installation, executables etc, from data. I   
   get that from using Docker containers. It's worth looking at Docker   
   because life is just so much easier, in the long run. Not only does   
   Docker separate exes and data it also tends to script setup/config   
   making changes easier.
