Linux directories read/write behaviour?

I need to know how the directories of a Linux system are used, in relation to their approximate read/write behaviour in time.
So far I have not been able to find any references. Can anybody provide some links?
The reason of my interested is due to the fact I have to install Linux on a system with a small and fast SSD, a large and slow SSD, a conventional HD and a RAM-disk.
I know the answer depends on the kind of activity (mine is mainly a development one), but as I wrote I only need approximate values.
Ideally this is what I am looking for:
| Directory | Size | read/write operations ratio | average N operations per second |
linux directory performance

That are very dependant of the distro, and for what it will be used. For example, if you have a web server in /var with a lot of uploads and downloads from the site, it will get more read/write operations in this folder. Can you be more specific?

that will be very specific for you, so first install everything in the more resistant (the rotative) device, and start meansuring for about 7 days of your normal using. This can help: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/356292/monitor-disk-writes-by-. Remember that ssds, are pretty faster with swap, but they dont like it (the durability can be reduced), but this depends in what you exactly want...
