M17xr1 SSD help needed x25-m G2 160gb

This is my first attempt at upgrading my R1 m17x and I'm not sure if there are any issues I should look out for. I tried searching but nothing came up as far as a software how to. Right now I just have a standard single HD in the m17x. I'd like to copy everything over and boot off the SSD drive and use the HD as a backup. Can someone point me to a link that shows an easy way to do this and any issues I might encounter?

 

The only thing you would need to do is uninstall the nvidia storage drivers in order to enable TRIM if your drive supports it

 

I installed an SSD drive the day after my R1 arrived. I used acronis to copy my original drive over to my SSD that was sitting in a E-sata dock. It took about 20 minute to create the image. After it finished. I power off, swapped drives and rebooted. Thats it. Been running cool and fast ever since. I had to get a second drive caddy from dell to install my old 500gig drive as a secondary. I also went through remapping all the "my documents" stuff to the back up drive so I wouldn't stuff my new SSD. Transferring all the Steam games over wasn't too hard either. Once all the huge files were moved, I installed office 10 and found I still have over 50% of my SSD remaining. It's very noticeable when you go from an SSD system to a traditional HDD computer. Everything feels very laggy.

 

Thanks guys. Everything went over very easy. Didn't have an interposer though. Dell wanted $61 for it so I said no way and went to a used parts store, got it for $1.
