[QUOTE="The_Stig, post: 721849, member: 12276"] Hi, I need hints on a (not so) small change on my htpc since I am planning to switch my System-Hdd to a SSD. Here is my system ASUS M2A-VM HDMI (690G) with SB600-onboard-Raid 1x500GB Samsung HDD IDE as System Disc 2x1.5TB Samsung HDD SATA as Storage Discs in RAID 1 Mode Now I want to replace the System Disc with my freshly bought Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB with imaging the HDD to the SSD. My plan so far is - to insert the SSD on a unused SATA-Slot - image the content from HDD to SSD using Acronis True Image - set the SSD as boot device (does this work within Acronis True Image?) - remove the hdd - have a working system after reboot :P Here comes the but: I once change some cables within my htpc to rearrange the case and after that it showed me a raid error und it had to rebuild (which took several hours where I didnt know if I had data loss or not, but it was all fine after that). But I still don't want to have this situation again. So, do you have any hints for me, what is the best and safest way to get this rearrangement going? I am happy for every notice here.
