Yes you can image it but ssd drives are sata only. If your laptop is so old that it has an ide drive, toss it out. Also XP does not know about trim functions on an ssd drive but I have had an ssd drive in an xp machine at Yellow cabs for a year or more without an issue.
My tests show they are no faster when transferring large files. They work best when accessing lots of small files as an operating system does. So maybe a small ssd for the C: drive and a big old traditional drive for long term storage, if your using a desktop that is or your laptop takes 2 drives.
