So I just received my 256GB 840 Pro in the mail (took long enough...but hey, free shipping! 
)and have a few questions to ask before puttin' that sucka in my PC.
(1) Is it easier to try and move my Windows installation over to my SSD, or would a fresh install be easier/quicker (despite the time it would take to re-download Service Pack 1 and all the updates)?
(2) What's a "safe" maximum amount of data to put on the SSD? I know filling it up all the way would be a less favorable than say 75%, but what's the most I can put on there with decent longevity?
(3) Any other pointers I should know before I start? Thanks!
Edit: I do have this sticky up.
Edit 2: I have an ASRock Extreme4, is that already set up in AHCI mode or whatever it's called?
