Plan to install a 500g SSD drive

[Datman]

I have a 111g SSD drive for my Cdrive and it was somewhat complicated back in the day when I built this setting up the bit locker. Do I have to do the same thing to use this 500g SSD as a drive for processing videos?

It's probably already formatted. If you're going to use it as a secondary drive, then all you need to do is install TRIM on it, and make sure that it is working correctly. TRIM will prolong the life of your SSD.

I'm running W7 but I will check it after I install it. Thanks
