If you have 241gb of files then yes. You will need to look up how to do it properly so the OS still works (unless you already know how).

Although in reality your O/S and high end games are the only files that really "need" the SSD's speed.  Other files such as word docs and music and such can remain on your current HDD

That is unless you only have the one free SATA port.

Is 12 seconds boot time bad? how about 14 seconds?

 

12 secs is pretty decent honestly.  My SSD takes around 4
