Two SSD drives in one system

Hi guys, I'm a newcomer to the world of SSDs, just bought a 60GB Corsair Force Series 3 off the MM. I'm going to install Windows 7 onto it but as my current 80gb OS partition has filled up rapidly from various bloat folders from windows I doubt I'll be able to fit any games on there too. I'd like to fit BF3 as it's supposed to load maps much quicker from an SSD.

What I'm thinking of doing is waiting for the prices of 256gb SSDs to drop some more (about the £100 mark would be perfect) and then getting another just for my steam folder and some other games like BF3. Now my question is, is there any problem with having two SSD drives in one system? Can W7 still handle all the background magic like TRIM?

I don't want to have to ditch my 60gb just to upgrade to a bigger SSD in the near future :)
 
Its just like two or more HDD in a system. I think that TRIM only has issues when the drives are in RAID. You can clone the newer drive when upsizing although I prefer a fresh install.
 
Yeah is fine. I'm running two on SATA2 so not getting the best speed yet. If on SATA3 it will be very quick still.
