Yes, GRUB used not to support LVM, so keeping /boot separate was 
required.

Here's my logical volume set up on my boot disk:

  LV   VG  Attr       LSize   Pool Origin Data%  Meta%  Move Log 
Cpy%Sync Convert
  boot sys -wi-ao----   3.00g
  root sys -wi-ao---- 300.00g
  swap sys -wi-ao----  16.00g

I have a separate SSD for /home

I now have SSDs for both the system and data 'disks'.

Before I rebuilt my PC about 3 years ago I had a pair of hard disks for 
/home which were in a software RAID 1 configuration. There was a single 
SSD for the system.

Regards,
Tony.
