[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1430002, member: 38864"] Yes, it is. However, you need to make sure you have at least one admin account left on the SSD so that, in the event you have to remove the HDD for any reason, you can still log into your system. While enabling root would suffice as the other poster suggested, we don't really recommend enabling the root user unless you know what you are doing, chiefly because while logged in as root, it's a lot easier to completely hose your system if you don't know what you are doing. We've seen it happen often enough here. You can just make an admin user account that you don't plan to use except in an emergency, and ignore it otherwise. [/QUOTE]
