Howdy,

I would like to install a SSD in my Lenovo T400 2767-CM6 in place of the original HDD.

I then will put my 5400rpm WD HDD in a multi-bay instead of my dvd drive.

My Questions are:

Priority:

Can I run my original HDD with a fully operating and configured software setup in a VM after booting on the SSD? What software is most stable?

Secondary:

Can I put an SSD in this machine?

Are there SSDs I need to avoid?

Notes:

The SSD upgrade is not meant to improve performance while using the original HDD.

I must run Windows 7 Enterprise on the SSD. (But will consider a dual boot so the VM works out)

I'm rather open-minded.

Yes you can put a SSD in the T400, but it depends on which model of T400 you have as to whether there is that much of an advantage to doing so, read this.
