Well my order has arrived. Im looking at my SSD and its tiny i thought it was gonna be the size of a hard drive. Anyway how am i gonna stick inside my case, can i just sit it ontop one of my harddrives or will it get too hot?

Edit: what wires do i use to plug it in, it doesnt seem to have any with it?
Also whats the best way to format my old harddrives, shall i just put windows 7 in and use that to format them?

anyone?

You need an ssd mounting kit.

Could probably just place it on top of another hd until the mounting kit arrives.

You need a sata cable and a power cable from your psu.

Go to: Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management.

A message box should appear, just press ok and it should sort them out.
