SM>> But I recommend you do a backup.
AA> At the moment, I don't have enough external memory/storage to

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> The T60
Waw!

AA> noise, and any hdd noise and just migrate to SSD ..and I want to

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.
