How do I replace/upgrade main hard drive?

[Grimace]

Hey guys, right now I have a 250GB hard drive that I want to replace with a 1TB drive that just arrived. What is the best way to get the info onto the new disk and then have the computer recognize it as the startup drive when I yank the other one out?

Should I raid them together (duplicative drives) and then take out the old 250GB?

(I have drives in the three other bays, but those can come out to help the install)

I think you can just use something like Carbon Copy Cloner

The RAID utility in OS X Disk Utility wouldn't be any better?
