Just ordered an SSD, need some input...

I think it includes a 3.5 adapter, so it should fit into a hard drive bay.
AHCI... setup in the Bios?

I heard that some SSD's need some kind of upgrade, I'm trying to find out before I get it.

This will be replacing his boot drive.
I also heard that is best to do a clean install rather than just transfer the OS and main programs, is this true?

I'm right now backing some of his "most important" files, documents etc...

I also need to wipe that hard drive clean.

Correct AHCI is set up in the bios. Do a clean install. you may need to do a firmware update on the SSD itself to ensure maximum performance.


How do I know if I need a firmware update?
