    Seems like a pretty good deal.

    What I really need is some good 2TB & 3TB HDD deals for my desktop, all my drives are full again :/

    Snagged one yesterday for my x201t. Any suggestions for what's the best way to get my system transferred over to the new drive?

    Thanks, I'll give it a try. In the past I've used Gnome Partition Editor as a free tool to copy drives, but was wondering what else was out there, and if there's any software issues regarding the 4k sector alignment problems that can occur when cloning to a newer drive.
