    I want a better HDD than my current Seagate.

    Is it possible to install the new HDD in the Ultrabay adapter and the install an image of my system and then swap HDD's afterwards ?

    I know I can use an external HDD enclosure but is the above solution possible ?

    Should be doable. Try it after a full backup. The ultrabay drive is no difference to the primary HD
