Leon I just did a quick check and you can buy a 960GB Crucial BX500 solid state disk for $135 now !!!

I cant emphasise enough what a huge boost in performance going from a hard disk to a solid state disk would make.

Crucial's cloning software (Acronis) is also very good at making bootable clones to smaller disks. Not quite as robust as Samsungs cloning software but a 1TB Samsung is a bit more at $165.

Then just swap the SSD for your old hard disk, and either put that hard disk in a safe place as a bootable clone, or wipe it and use it as additional storage.
