Except your configuration, tweaks, browser history, site log in names, passwords, etc. You have to rebuild all that.
It also depends on the type of programs you run. Well built programs installed to another drive should be unconcerned if they are launched on a new OS build as long as all the executables they need are there. Unfortunately there are bad programers who either don't care, don't consider it or actually want product lock in. Any of those force you to reinstall programs even if on another drive to get them up and running again.

I don't care about my browser history or passwords at all, infact I have firefox configured to not remember anything right now. All the important stuff like homework, gamedata, various files...I keep on a HDD.

Yes in your case this might work for you but considering how much time people spend on the web these days, a loss of site log in names and passwords to a person might be devastating if they didn't take precautions. Especially if they were intelligent about their name & password scheme which would mean that they would be using a different name and password for every site they need logged access to.

With all the passwords these days between work, school and home use, it's tough for me to remember them all and also unreliable to expect my browser to remember them all. I keep a separate word file with all my passwords on it for that purpose. Security is not that important to me though, just remembering the passwords/logins is.

Do you use FF? If so, you might like this.

I've had way more HDDs die than SSDs, so I'm unconcerned. Intels are rock solid. If anyone's all paranoid and sticking to crappy old HDDs for a boot drive, well then, they missin out.

Aerlinthian, just install the OS and programs on it. Leave data on old drives. Totally worth it.
this. I have OS and a few programs on it. The rest is on my old drive, and backed up on another drive.

yes this for me too. i do have alot of stuff on the ssd already, but i keep all "my important" stuffs mirrored onto a big external and also a platter hd in the same box.
Important stuff should be backed up anyways.
With that said, if mine failed at this very moment I'd probably take it out and stab it repeatedly with a pen in a fit of rage.
