I have this combo and have had zero problems with it.....I have found though that I've been unable to overclock with positive results....not saying that is a bad thing or that it isn't possible, just saying if you are looking to overclock you may not have the outcome you desire....the combo is quite sufficient though as is.....as far as the 2.5 sata transfer if you are asking about taking the OS on the 240gb drive and transplanting it to a new computer system build, it MIGHT work but I would definitely advise having a clean install so there are no unwanted OS system files being introduced to the new computer build.......
