Come back when you have the SSD. Then the acid test will start.
Looking to Upgrade to a New SSD

Hello again, well i bit the bullet and purchased a
Samsung 840 Series 120GB 2.5 inch SATA Solid State Drive: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
and i have been doing some research, and this may be easier than i thought. LOL
I found this link on " DATA" migration
Samsung SSD - A Guide to using the Samsung Data Migration Tool - YouTube
The only question i have is ,
Since i currently only have 44Gigs of DATA, on my 312 GIG, C:\ partition , i should not have any trouble migrating the "DATA: from my HD to my new SSD ? .
Thanks in Advance.

44GBs of data will easily migrate to a 128GB SSD - no problems. If this is a Dell system though, it will also migrate the recovery partition because that's where the bootmgr is - if not, you get only the small 100MB system partition. That we can fix later.

Hello again, this is not a dell. its a custom build. so i guess i don't have to shrink the 312 C:\ partition ?
Just install the SSD and run the Samsung migration software reboot, let the migration finish, reboot and change the SSD to the 2nd Boot device after the CD/DVD drive, and its done.?
Thanks in advance.

The 840 TLC performance is lower than that iof the 840 PRO MLC as well. I expect that is partially because has higher density and hence fewer NAND chips.The 840 Pro version uses MLC chips while the 840 uses TLC chips.
MLC has 2 bits per cell.
TLC has 3 bits per cell.
Most consumer SSD are MLC but you will see more TLC in the future.
TLC is the newest way to get more data on the same number of chips and there by cut the cost.
In theory TLC will not last as long as it gets more use per chip and may reach its write limit faster. So it depends on your budget.

You got it. No need to shrink. If the data fits, the tool will migrate the C partition and do proper alignments. Check the alignment anyhow once you run from the SSD - just to make sure. SSD Alignment

In real life that makes no difference. The performance boost comes from the fast access times - and they are the same.The 840 TLC performance is lower than that iof the 840 PRO MLC as well.

Random writes are 3 time better on the pro. Random reads are better but not by a significant amount. So they aren't the same.
