What makes you say that's the general assumption? As far as I know the vast majority of machines shipping with SSDs are shipping with ONLY an SSD, not two drives. Are you saying Apple's (for example) assumption is you're going to cary around an external HDD with your MacBook to store your files on?

The general assumption (or rather disclaimer) is: make backups.

An earlier failure may even be an advantage here because that way you have less time to accumulate important data before learning your lesson...

A lot of people go with removing the cd drive and adding the ssd there. That's what I did and aside from a sata saturation firmware bug it went great. So fast.
