I'd clone the HDD onto the SSD and then use the HDD as a slower storage drive. Keep it as is for a while in case the SSD breaks within the first week or so (Bathtub curve), but it should be fine after that.

To add onto this after cloning and seeing it boot disconnect the hdd to see if it works fine.

 

Ive had clones behave strangely from time to time and if the original drive is gone they refused to boot

 

Just meant I had to clone again then
