You'd have to get elbow deep in hidden MS config files but it would allow you to have a small SSD strictly for the OS and related files used for booting the system and a separate large HDD for the users' home directories, installed software and other large, fairly rapidly changing files. We did this with both Windows NT/2000 servers and OS/2 servers so our user data back-ups could finish overnight.

This would isolate user home directories and personal info from boot and system data. You used to be able to put sub-directories on secondary drives in Windows (standard in Unix) and change the config files to indicate the different drive to use. I don't know if this would work but an old Unix practice might help.
