Query re HDD's
I have had a quick look but cannot find much but.....
I have built a SB with i5 2500 on Gigabyte GA-H67A-UD3H-B3 Motherboard and I fitted a Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB HD103SJ but find it a bit noisy so have bought a
Seagate Barracuda 1TB ST31000524AS not only because it is supposed to be quieter but it is also a 6Gbs transfer rate, and hoping it will speed up the boot as a bonus.
Can I transfer the OS and everything on the Samsung to the Seagate and then disconnect and remove the Samsung ? keep it for another small build ? spare - easily or is it going to be a difficult task to do that.
I also have an internal Seagate Barracuda 500GB ST3500413AS as a back up as well. Can I also just put the OS only onto this drive in the event of the other drive crashing completely.
I do back up onto a 3.0 USB external as a matter of course, as I like to be overly cautious rather than stuck with zip.
Advice and direction most appreciated
