(I didn't keep the paging file entirely on the SSD in part because heavily-modded Skyrim takes up a huge amount of disk space.)
    From what I've read the biggest problem with using an SSD for that purpose is it shortens the lifespan of the SSD, I'm not sure if that's correct and/or how significant the effects are to the SSD. I don't know if their would be a problem with spreading it across both, other than the I/O speed of an HDD is a decent bit slower than an SSD, but I don't think it would be inadvisable to do. I would just imagine that if it were spread across both you'd be at the mercy of HDD speed when trying to access that data.
