Default SSD questions. (Just got tax return!)

Just got my tax return. Going to turn some of that into new RAM and at least one SSD if not two.

So a couple questions...

Who's using what? Newegg shows many brands, speeds, connection types. What's best? I was thinking I could get a 32GB for my system drive and then either a 32 or 64 for audio - preferrably a 32 as they're a little less expensive. My thinking there was that I would simply move sessions in and out of it as I work on them. I already have several SATA HDDs in the system that will work well for storing sessions I'm not currently working on.

Many of the reviews on Newegg mention the amount of 'tweaking' necessary to use these. Is it significant or fairly simple?

How can I set one up as my system drive without having to reinstall everything and start from scratch? Can I simply move everything from my current C drive and expect it to work ok?

Create an image of your system drive and put the image on your new drive using Ghost or Acronis.

I've had better luck cloning using Acronis. It has held on to authorizations the best.

Se my profile. I'v got two SSD disks. One for system (128gb) and the other for PT sessions (64gb).
I'm very happy with them
