the easiest way move data don't intend put on ssd off of current hdd until remaining data small fits on ssd.
next use ccc clone stuff ssd. format hdd anyway want , move data , set symbolic links reference music, movies, pictures folders on hdd.

need enough space on external disk or else going difficult. although you'd have reformat hdd eventually.
