   Hi August!

    SM>> But I recommend you do a backup.   
      
    AA> At the moment, I don't have enough external memory/storage to   
    AA> do that.  :/   
      
   Usually it is enough to save the configuration files.   
      
    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.

    AA>  affords operating a 2nd'ary drive in lieu of the DVD drive.  But at   
    AA> this point, I am enamoured to reduce heat generation, associated fan   
    AA> noise, and any hdd noise and just migrate to SSD   ..and I want to   
    AA> retain use of the DVDRW drive for certain occassions.   
      
   Yes. For a laptop, it is better to replace the HDD with an SSD.   
      
    AA> A direct SSD migration seems simpler to achieve.   
      
    AA> The HDD+SSD project sounds more time consuming.   
      
   For a desktop computer, this is a reasonable solution. For a laptop - only if   
   there is an M2 slot, or you don't need DVD anymore.   
      
    SM>> PS: Keep in mind that XP does not know how to properly work with SSD. You   
    SM>> need to use at least Win7.   
      
    AA> What is "proper"?  Are you referring to TRIM and what is also   
    AA> referred to as Garbage Collection?   
      
   They say TRIM significantly prolongs the life of the SSD.   
      
    AA> XP doesn't entertain extra background disk activity like the   
    AA> later OSes do. It is my understanding that with properly   
    AA> adjusted (aligned) partitions, the SSD should have very few   
    AA> issues operating without TRIM.   
      
   I won't argue.   
      
   Have nice nights.
