Is it possible to clone to a smaller 240gb ssd from 2 250 hdd sata drives. the 2 sata drives are for a server that has raid configuration. I want to upgrade for speed but wasn't sure what the size difference will do if anything. Has anyone done this?

In that case, you have about 300GB of data. Do you know what the usage patterns are? In other words, what is running on this server? File shares? database? Web server? Also, is it mostly reads from the drive, mostly writes, or can you estimate the percentage of each? What are your expectations as far as where you expect your data usage to go in the future? Is it going to stay ~300GB, or is it going to steadily creep up over time?
