The way I do thing's is I use a normal sata drive use to be a 1tb drive but then I bought a 160gb dedicated for the job.

I install windows and apps and games on to the normal sata drive either the 160gb or the 1tb drive, and then I use Acronis Boot Disk to clone it across to the SSD after I have done a secure erase on the SSD.

When you use the Acronis boot disk and tell it to clone the 2 drives it will give you 3 option's but the best to choose is the one where, it shrink's the partition down to the size of the new disc or increases it, dependant on whether you are going from smaller to larger or larger to smaller which is the case when moving from normal sata to ssd.

I have had no issues with mine since I started using a ssd doing it the way I do it and to be honest I have never heard, of it causing issues of cloning a larger drive to a smaller drive.

You will be fine if you use Acronis or something that is the same as it and aslong as you are not trying to clone more data than, the ssd can hold as a 120gb ssd will normally give you about 105gb to 110gb to use after it is formatted etc.
