Are there any other considerations I'd need to look at, or is this pretty much a simple plug and play ordeal once I have it set up?
Once you've added a new SSD drive, re-run the installer to move the installation as desired. The 'Planning installation locations' section in the main Hauptwerk user guide (pages 18-19 in the current v4.2.1 version) and the 'Changing installation locations' section (page 25) cover it in more detail.
Depending on the size of your new SSD, in the 'custom' option in the installer you could either choose to put all of the installation folders on it (if it was very big, probably 2 TB or more if using lots of large sample sets), or (more commonly), you could choose just to put the 'Internal working data' and 'User data' components on it (which are the speed-critical ones) but keep the 'Sample sets and components' component (which is very large, but not particularly speed-critical) on your C: drive.
