So I got an Optibay and installed the SSD in the Optibay last night. The main OS is still on the hard drive. I want to get the main OS onto the SSD. What's the best way to go about this? Ideally, I'd like to do a fresh install on the SSD (while not touching the main hard drive), and then move my Documents, Mail libraries, and iTunes/iPhoto libraries from the hard drive over to the SSD. Then, once I'm confident that I've moved everything over from the hard drive to the SSD that's important, I would wipe the hard drive and use it as my secondary storage.
Is this reasonable? Is there a better way? If I have an SSD and a hard drive with Snow Leopard installed, will Snow Leopard see and be able to access the hard drive if I boot from the SSD?
