Sorry what I meant was, if you want, a good solution to make up for the smaller C drive space, is to replace your DVD drive with a normal mechanical drive, like the one you currently use for your C drive. (If there's nothing wrong with it you may as well just use it).
So you get one of these:

Then just remove the DVD drive, and put this in its place, it's basically a caddy to hold the mechanical hard drive. So you will have your SSD as your main OS disk, then have the old C drive as your data disk, for storage.
Say you could get this:

That way, you would have 120GB for your OS and programs which will be super fast, but also the 1TB internal disk will be very quick because it will be connected via SATA, as opposed to having a USB2 connected external drive.
But see because you have a 1TB internal, then you could use the 1TB external as a perfect device to backup your 1TB internal.
I hope this makes sense, and yeah maybe you are spending a little money but it's worth it to have a good backup, because your time is worth more than a few hundred dollars!!
The only thing you lose in this situation is your DVD drive, but seriously how often do you use it? They are becoming obsolete so rapidly. Any software you want/buy etc is downloadable these days and Like I said if you really need you could just get an external USB DVD drive which are like $20 on ebay.
