[QUOTE="mtbinva, post: 993381, member: 139884"] OK, being the techno geek that I am, I ordered the 320GB 7400 rpm with the enclosure. I mean, who can't use an additional external drive. Now, the touchy question is this, what is the best way to clone the current drive to the new 7400 rpm? Is CarbonCopyCloner the route to go? Before anyone posts the typical disclaimers, and they should be posted regardless, I deal with swapping and cloning drives in the PC world everyday, that's part of what I do for a living (I'm a HUGE fan of Acronis). I am not afraid, nor do I take lightly cracking a case open to do a swap. However, I do want to avoid all possible issues up front. So, clone drive to new replacement drive, reformat old drive for external storage. Any and all precautionary advise is truly welcomed, and I apologize if the request is redundant. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
