Well that was easy. The hardest part was remembering I had a really nice StarTech eSata SATA Docking Station.

The clone of the 120gb I had reduced my C:\Drive to took a little over an hour. Pulled old drive, new drive in. Bootup in about 15 - 20 seconds.

Primary HD subscore went from 5.9 to 7.6

Preliminary poking around shows pretty much everything running faster. (and more available RAM than I had before. VS2012 ultimate comes up in less than 5 sec.

Comes with 2 very nice pieces of software - Data Migration and the Samsung SSD Magician which had stuff for firmware updates, tuning of drive, tuning of OS and even a Norton Ghost to clone the drive in the future.

Now am mounting old drive in caddy I bought on eBay for $15.

Happy dance.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
