What is this: A private folder on my SSD?

[vmachiel]

I recently installed a OCZ agility 2 SSD in my Mbp. On the hard drive, there were always the main folders: Library, Users, Applications, and system. But now on my ssd there is a private folder a little over 5 GB in size. Does anyone know what this is?

Thanks
