Was reading a few of the earlier threads on these drives and finally caved.
K one thing I really hate doing, is re-installing an OS and any other apps and shit whenever I need an upgrade. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I just picked up the Intel 320 80gb SSD the other day. Shit is so dope.
One thing I would recommend, if anyone doesn't want to reinstall anything (like me), get this: Paragon Paragon Migrate OS to SSD - Overview
Best $20 I spent in a while.
Plug in SSD.
Run Paragon (pick which partition to migrate even if you have multiple on one drive, most migration software does NOT let you do this as they only migrate whole drives)
Reboot
Change Boot Priority to your new drive
Bam, back online with everything as it was before, just a lot faster.
Only thing is don't forget to adjust backups if you run any since if you're still planning on using the old drive for storage your drive letters might change.
