FreeBSD on SSD

Good day. I have recently bought a Seagate Momentus XT for my laptop.

The specs for the drive are :

RPM : 7200
Buffer : 32 MB
HDD Memory : 750 GB
SSD Memory : 8 GB


I wish to install FreeBSD on it, but I wanted to ask this beforehand :

Would it would be possible to install it on the 8 GB SSD sector ?
Would it work, and how would FreeBSD generally handle the SSD share of the
memory ?

Thank you, V.
