    Yes--I just reformatted the old hard drive and stuck all the documents on there. All programs get installed to the SSD. I was worried that 120GB wouldn't be enough but I currently have 70.8GB free and I have all the major programs installed already (no games since this is my work computer; I think when I put an SSD in my home computer I'll probably go up to 256GB to make room for all the games I might want).

        That is how I did it for my macbook pro setup. I got rid of the optical drive and installed a SSD drive for the OS/applications but a 7200 rpm HD with lot of space for my home directory. It works very well.

        Of course, then apple came out with their "Fusion" drives which are similar in concept.
