SSD advice

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 4:20 pm

Hey everyone, last month I bought a laptop from Newegg and just today they decided to give me a complimentary coupon. There wasnt too much in there that I wanted.....that is until I saw they gave me 25% off of any SSD on the site. I currently have a 60GB OCZ Vertex series drive from 2009. I have it split in two partitions, each 30GB, one for WIndows 7 and the other for programs and stuff. Now since I am running out of space on my 60GB drive, I have noticed that the speed is drastically falling. I was getting about 150MB/s read speeds when doing a benchmark. (Now this drive has been on and running for almost 7100 hours, but it should have a lot more time to run. Crystal disk reports it at 40% health.)

I was thinking about upgrading to a 120GB or 180GB OCZ Agility 2 drive. What software would allow me to clone my current drive and have an exact copy on my new drive?

Thanks, I was thinking about Norton Ghost at first, but I didnt think that would be worth it. I will definitely try it out. Now I still need to decide if its worth it to upgrade already. I promised myself before that the next major upgrade would be mobo/RAM/bulldozer when it came out, but this is great deal.

I got a coupon too, but it's only 20%. :(
