   Hello Stas!   
      
    SM> But I recommend you do a backup.   
      
   At the moment, I don't have enough external memory/storage to     
   do that.  :/   
      
      
    SM> I recommend you using the SSD as the system drive and the   
    SM> HDD as the data drive. This configuration will be more   
    SM> long-lived and reliable.   
      
   The T60 affords operating a 2nd'ary drive in lieu of the DVD     
   drive.  But at this point, I am enamoured to reduce heat     
   generation, associated fan noise, and any hdd noise and just     
   migrate to SSD   ..and I want to retain use of the DVDRW drive     
   for certain occassions.   
      
   A direct SSD migration seems simpler to achieve.   
      
   The HDD+SSD project sounds more time consuming.   
      
      
    SM> PS: Keep in mind that XP does not know how to properly work with SSD. You   
    SM> need to use at least Win7.   
      
   What is "proper"?  Are you referring to TRIM and what is also     
   referred to as Garbage Collection?   
      
   XP doesn't entertain extra background disk activity like the     
   later OSes do. It is my understanding that with properly     
   adjusted (aligned) partitions, the SSD should have very few     
   issues operating without TRIM.
