could you install the original HDD as a slave and leave the SSD fresh and uncluttered?
I have my original 500gb HDD as the slave and a 256gb SSD as my main drive in my laptop (Optical drive has been relocated into external USB caddy). My photos, music and downloads folder remain on the HDD and then everything else goes onto the SSD. That way the larger files which aren't as vital remain off the SSD leaving it to do what it does best.
If I'm working on anything I'll put it onto the SSD to let it shine.
