[QUOTE="jajo579, post: 1470113, member: 47567"] How do I go about replacing my current 1 TB startup drive in my 2008 Mac Pro with a 120 GB SSD (OWC)? I know how to do the hardware part of it. On a Mac Pro it is super easy, but how about the software side of it. My current startup drive is a 1 TB WD SATA and I'm hoping to improve on performance and speed by replacing it with a 120 GB SSD, which I already bought. I want to leave the Home folder on the 1 TB drive and I have another 1 TB drive with some data on it. I am thinking about doing a clean install of Mountain Lion on the SSD, because I suspect there are lots of remnants and stuff of programs that I'm not using anymore that are impacting the performance of my computer, but I don't want to loose a lot of settings etc. that are currently in my system. So, how do I go about transferring this data to the SSD after ML install? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance! [/QUOTE]
