Questions about installing an SSD in a mini


many of these questions may seem newbie-like, never owned ssd drive nor know how work in mini... forgive me in advance.

finished adding ram, mini quite bit zippier before. still have original sluggo hd. wondering is, can install small ssd drive cache drive, , (yet not all) of speed benefits seen ssds?

this:

or drive below 60gb?

little wary of using ssd main drive, have fear of them dying on me, taking out os. or in case, both lion , win 7. if using cache drive, risk 1 day not working, , original hd , files still fine, right?

, tools needed mini's innards? special screwdriver, right? , need special cable? there room in there 2 drives, right?

, lion , win 7 automatically know how use ssd cache drive? seeing there no bios set, not sure how working correctly.
 

i believe windows 7 ahci enabled option use ssd cache drive. not sure saw this, perhaps in control panel > performance? have ssds option says drive performance high cache drive.

cache drives not available in osx.

should have concerns on ssd reliability. prone failure platter based mechanical counter parts. can use included hdd in secondary drive bay. can split home directory , important files on hdd. low cost 120gb drive os , run both windows , osx using setup. option larger ssd , use internal drive timecapsule disk. have fast backup location.
