Hi Everyone!
First off thank you for taking the time to read this.
Now, I'll get straight to the point. I have a 500GB HDD 7200RPM, works fine but I do a lot video editing and bought recently a OCZ Vertex 4 512GB SSD. I currently have my internal HDD in the first bay of my m17xR3 and the second bay is empty. I am planning to install the Vertex unto the second bay. Unfortunately that's all I know on what to do from there. I also currently have an external 1TB Hard drive. So far all I've done is made a back up with PC restore that ate up 160GB of my external HD in 1 run.
So yeah lost from here. I've searched youtube and the OCZ forums and have read a lot but each segment seems to address different scenarios and it's hard for me to discern which one is relevant to me so I thought I'd try asking here for help.
So again, I have 2 bays in my m17x R3 one of which is being used by my HDD. The second bay I intend to install a SSD unto after which I would like to copy my current files (Everything, OS, Apps, documents etc.) into. I also have my windows 7 disc and resource disc if that helps?
Anyway, I am sure everyone has helpful methods to going about this, I am simply looking for the most efficient. Something where I won't have to download a ridiculous amount of applications if possible.
