Solid State HD for A1200 project

Good Evening - it has been 10 years!! since I last did hobby computing with my amiga computers.  My A1200 and A4000 boot up just fine but was intrigued by the possibility of replacing the old HD with a solid state drive / flash card?   There seem to be kits to do this.  How hard would it be to install one of these inside the machine but more importantly, get all the contents of the old drive (drivers and directories etc) back onto the memory card?   Has anybody done this, and what bumps in the road might I encounter?

Good Morning Folks!  Wow thank you 100% for the detailed answers.  I think investing the time to go from the old HD to a solid state one will be worthwhile both for the A1200 and the A4000.  Making the ADF files for the while disk will be important for me.  Back when I was Amiga savvy I slaved configuring the different directories with the bits and pieces to properly configure all my expansion cards.  There is NOW WAY I could do that now.  It seems like all my floppy drives are suffering from bit rot as well so trying to run the installation macros will probably not work.  So . . . moving boldly forward!  I'll gather the hardware and give this a whirl.  Again many thanks !
