I just bought a 2TB SSD during the black friday sales and a PCI card to mount it in ( as I only have 1 SDD connection on my motherboard)
I currently have a secondary 2TB HDD that I use to install the majority of my programs. I have a smaller separate SDD that boots the computer - so bootability is not an issue.
My plan is to install the new card and SDD. Then to copy/clone the HDD to the SDD. Then I would need to rename the new drive to D: (which is what my current secondary drive is) and remove the old drive.
So, is this a good plan? Any idea on how to best copy/clone the HDD. Also, If I setup the new drive as E: and then clone d: onto it and then remove d: and rename the new SSD to d: will all the paths work?
