Considering that I cannot set only this to another SSD that's a no-go for me. Anyway this seems like a bad design option from the start, maybe it will get better in the future.

The default trickplay settings (320px w/ 10sec intervals) should produce around 2MB to 4MB per 24min video.
I even increased my trickplay settings to 464px & 8sec intervals. I currently have around 4000 24min episodes and like 30ish movies. Trickplays took up about 17GB for me.
Going off of your self-estimate of 1TB, you're realistically looking at somewhere between 200GB-400GB of trickplay files alone if you use the defaults.
