Use acronis true image to clone your data. You have to pay for it, but there are ways of getting around that.

Mirror the drive. You will need another computer to do this. It is not hard. Google it.

Make sure your 60GB SSD is plugged into your first sata port and plug your 120GB SSD into the second sata port. Boot to a Linux live CD and issue the command

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb

from a terminal. This will copy the contents of the first SSD to the second. Make sure you back up all data before doing this because screwing up the dd command can wipe your entire SSD.
