I got it all plugged in it's working as HWMonitor picks it up. I'm running this Data Migration tool but even with everything selected to exclude from the cloning process there still ain't enough space. I only want to put a few games (Like Skyrim) on it and my OS. How do I go about this?

Run software that came with it, reinstall os for clean start. Just load essential core system software on it, get ramdisk, supposed to make ssd faster and last longer. My mobo came with ramdisk software

Evo comes in a few sizes, ive seen 500gb. I have the 256 version. 128 is ok but absolutely no apps just os will fit before you wish you would have gotten the next size up ssd. I paid 175 and prices dropped Sharply over.last two months. Ive seen a 500gb for $230. When price bottoms out I want to pickup two more identical ssd's as run them in raid for fastest performance
