But the problem with that is making sure your mother isn't the type who turns the computer off any second of the day she's not using it.

Nah, I've got her trained. The SSD images itself to a 3.5" 3tb internal drive. All her media, by default, goes directly to directories on the HDD. I did clone it originally because I didn't want to go through and sort out what the 100GB or so of date she had already, but she'll also essentially never run it above 120GB (hers is a 240GB drive if I didn't say that earlier). She doesn't download anything. The children who are still around the house have barely more than guest privileges to the computer.

So there's little chance she runs the drive near capacity (as I understand it, a crippling state for an ssd), and she wouldn't notice if I had a little scripted program or one that allows itself to be scheduled running in the background.
