Hello Stas!

 SM> But I recommend you do a backup.

At the moment, I don't have enough external memory/storage to  
do that.  :/

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.

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.
