Heya,
When you get it, if you have the option, update its firmware (look to the manufacturer if its available). See what the update has, if any, and go for it. Do this before you try to install or do anything with it as it will require you to format it and all that. So plug it in, update it, before you format your old drive so that you have an OS to worth with while you do it.
Otherwise, all you need is right here:

Follow the guide. If you follow it and put your page file and TEMP/TMP files on a 2nd drive, you'll find your Win 7 x64 install to be around 6~7 gigs or so.
Very best,

I know it will have some sort of depletion as all flash memory will, so I'm just looking for what I need to do. Any advice, tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. |
