I have two drives in my laptop:SSD (128GB):Windows 10 installedHDD (1TB):Windows 10 Data Linux Mint installed on ext4Now, once you go SSD you never look back, so loading times on Linux Mint installation are driving me nuts.From what Ive read, I could possibly clone the ext4 partition with Clonezilla and move it to a new ext4 partition on SSD. Is that something feasible? I wonder about how grub will behave after the move. I am not very savvy with it and worried that any automated tool I could use after moving Mint partition to SSD is not gonna help me out much.Any help/comments would be greatly appreciated.

Moving your Linux install partition with Clonezilla is definitely feasible, and it's probably the easiest way. Here's the general process:Backup any important data. (Although I've successfully done this before, I haven't tested these instructions, so move forward without backup at your own risk).Shrink your Windows partition to provide enough space for your Linux partition, plus a bit more (maybe ~1GB) for the fact that Clonezilla can't clone to a smaller drive than the original.Use a partitioning program (GParted Live would be suitable). Create a new partition in the space that you made in step 2.Boot into Clonezilla and do a disk to disk clone, from your original partition to your new one. Instead of choosing disk_to_local_disk in those instructions, choose, part_to_local_part, and select the partitions to clone rather than disks to clone.Install and configure GRUB on the new drive.
