I've just pulled the trigger on a new Alienware M17x, I specced it up a bit, better GPU, more RAM etc, but Dell's prices for SSD's are completly stupid, so I just went for the cheapest HDD option (500Gb mech) with the plan to change it myself. (It has 2 bays, so I can keep the 500Gb drive as a data disk).
So as it's a new system, whats the best way to install the SSD? Should I clone the HDD onto the new SSD? Or do a fresh install?
I'm not sure yet what media Dell provide with it, don't even know if I'll get backup DVD's or a windows disc or whatever.
It's gonna be a month before I get it anyway, delivery estimate is end of November.
In the mean time, I could go ahead and order the SSD. Thinking of a 256Gb Crucial M4, unless someone can suggest somthing better?
Thanks.
