So I think I'll stick with the 60GB SSD for C and a mechanical drive for D. Eventually I'll swap out D for a largish SSD and invest in the NAS I've been thinking about. (Mrs. B has been bugging me for a way to stream shows to the TV when I'm on the computer)

Well that bit of information brings up another interesting scenario as a 60GB SSD in my mind is not really sufficient as a primary drive (for me) and that would be a case for myself where if that was my only option, an SSD of that capacity paired with a mechanical harddrive with SmartResponse might make sense. SmartResponse was developed with small SSDs such as this in mind and as a hybrid solution for those who could not afford larger SSDs when prices were a bit more astronomical even a year ago.
I do own a 60GB SSD but it's in a Netbook with a RT Se7en Lite copy of Windows 7 that cuts it down to about 10GB only. That might be something for you to consider with such a small SSD.
