Hey all,
I'm thinking of getting hold of a ~64gb SSD this winter and using it as a boot/program drive. I have two questions:
1. How do I choose? I've heard good things about the Crucial M4, but I don't really know the competition.
2.More importantly: How can I do a neat, selective transfer from my HDD? I'd like to move my OS and everything that it needs over.
If there's no particularly easy way to do this, I could probably pick out the things I *don't* plan to transfer and get down to a small enough chunk of everything else to fit on the SSD.
Can I just copy everything on the HDD, minus stuff like music, over to the SSD without doing a clean install? I'd like to avoid that, just to save time building up a personalized system again and installing apps and such.
