To answer your question
But why not use the secondary as another internal drive? I do that and it works perfectly.

You can manually set up a secondary game install location in Steam.
(View > Settings > Downloads> Steam Library Folders > Add A Library Folder)
From then on, any time you go to install a game it will ask you which folder you want to install it in.
As for SSD life spans, don't worry about it. Yes, flash memory does have a limited number of writes, but that amount is so incredibly high that it's never going to be something you will need to worry about. Sure, you may end up simply getting a BAD drive, but that can be said about pretty much any electronic device/component on the market.

So, I'm getting an SSD for my laptop pretty soon, and I'm going to transform my HDD in a external HDD. I would like to know if i could still run some games from the HDD.
Nope, I won't install any games on the SSD.
Also, how's the life span for SSD drives? I know that it will die eventually, and I'm a bit afraid of...overusing it.
Thanks
