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.
This is great!

I can use the current 250GB drive initially, and get a 1TB one a bit later (when funds recover).

So i'll have 120GB SSD, 250GB internal, and 1TB external via USB for now.

That'll keep me out of trouble for a little while.

Though it's taken about 30 hours so far to copy about 240GB to my other laptop across the wireless network. So damn slow!
I've got to copy it back too, once I've rebuilt everything. Another 30 hours!
