Cloning Drive

I am considering buying a new SSD for my desktop (Samsung 256mb one). I was wondering how difficult it would be to copy my existing partition from my current drive to the new one.

Cheers

Use Acronis to clone it, an easy process.

Some will suggest a clean install instead though.

If I were you I'd get 2 x 128Gb SSD's and put them in RAID 0 for even more of a boost.

Good idea but RAID control is beyond my expertise and makes things more complicated than they would be with just 1 hd
