I'm not sure if that is a good idea. SSDs are Flash memory and have a
limited read/write cycle. The firmware tries to optimize this by not
always writing to the same address. But since it seems that you want to
use it for a high-volume mail server this will have an impact. Better
check the Web for some wear&tear tests of this drive...

kind regards,
