Best use for 2nd SSD?

I'm about to install a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB because I'm running out of space on my 830 128GB, but I've got the room and the SATA ports to keep both of them in the system.

The OS and all my apps will be on the 840--what would be the best use for the 830? I don't do games, so that's not an option. I do a lot of video and audio transcoding, but those operations are mostly CPU-bottlenecked. I'll put my Win 7 swap file on the 830, but I can't think of any other I/O-bottlenecked operations that would benefit from the SSD.

Any ideas?
 
You would better off leaving the page file on the 840 pro, it is after all faster.

If you don't have anything just sell it, someone is bound to pickup a bargain 830 from you.

This. Keep it as a spare or for another build, or just secure erase it and sell it.
