Hey everyone, long time since i've been here but i recently purchased a new SSD for my PC. I bought this one at the price of $154.95 at the time: Amazon.com: Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive MZ-7TE250BW: Computers & Accessories. It is on it's way next week or so.
Did much research and is a great deal that i couldnt pass up. I have some questions about cloning after doing some research as well. In my situation, my HDD is partitioned in two drives for my 1TB: 149GB and 781GB, so the small portion is only OS and applications and a few drivers. I believe i clone the smaller portion and the rest should be history but does this mean I can delete the old portion of my HDD or must I keep it at all times? I would like to get that space back and perhaps combine it with my Local D drive using GParted LiveCD or something. I plan on buying a new 2 or 3TB HDD in the summer to replace this 1TB while the 1TB can be used for whatever i want it to be. What are my best options to make this transition painless and as fast as possible? Also, should I have all my drivers on the smaller partition before cloning so I can keep it all on the same drive?
