OK if you purchase a Western Digital Hard drive you can visit their site and get the tolls you need to clone your old drive to the new... But know one tells you this, so always do some research when buying anything! it downloadable and free but must be use with at least one Western Digital HD... works great! And BTW the 1TB WD HD 64mg cache, 7200RPM Blue works nice!

Yes, most HD's come bundled with some type of imaging/cloning or backup software. Even some new PC's come with it or some type of cloning utuility.

Glad the new HDD is working out great. I've considered getting a SSD but they are a tad expensive but very fast!

Yes... on the SSD..I read they get very slow when they have a allot of data built up on them, so for me that is a no way for now, they are great for maybe note books and laptops just to do everyday stuff, or if you go with the cloud thing. For me I need lots of space to store lot's of stuff, that I can get to fast.

I don't care much for the could think either MHO.

So portability, yes on that solid state drive! ( with a back up plan or drive)
the big HDD get slow also when they get lots of stuff on the, not as fast as a SSD. I like to stick with less than 500 GB on those... using an external on second HDD for, back up archives and junk!

Just general thinking!

I agree, I'd use a ssd for a c: drive and a regular one for backups. I don't trust the cloud. There's something not safe about storing your stuff in places you know nothing about or how they really work. It's a marketing gimmick, imo. And you read how all of the stars got hacked using it? Not very smart of them to store very personal items like nude photos online?!?!
