So, I think the standard 320 is a bit noisy when writing sometimes. I have a F1 750gig in bay 2, can some describe how i easily could transfer my boot drive data to this and use it as a bootdrive.
Got a tip for us?

If the 750 already has lots of data stored, not easily. You can use something like carbon copy to make a duplicate of the 320 onto the 750.
Oh, okay, that is good. Just use Caron Copy Cloner:

You can make a clone of the boot drive, put the 750 in bay 1, though it may not need to be. Make sure it boots. Then you can format the 320 and use it for storage or whatever.

if your stock boot drive is a western digital you can instal windows and run WinAAM to quiet the drive.
it REALLY quieted mine down, and the performance difference is not noticeable.

I did exactly as stated. It worked great. I now have the 320 for time machine until I can get time to figure out how to load my XP 64 on it.
