Hi, Just bought a 1TB SSD as an upgrade over my trusty 240GB Kingston. I'm planning to clone the OS "as is" to my new SSD, but I don't want to use the Kingston anymore (unless poop falls down from the sky). I heard that unused SSD-s will degrade over time, and if my new drive works as...

Just wanted to update everyone that this long-winded goose chase finally came to an end. The problem was with the PSU. So now I'm on a hunt for a new "reliable" PSU. The PCI slot on the motherboard (of the GPU) was discolored because it overheated so badly and so on (things that I'll have to...
