8300 Upgrade Hard Drive?
Thinking about upgrading the hard drive on my 8300.
I've heard that going from the stock drives to one running at 7200 rpm and SATA can make a nice difference in performance.
But is it worth the hassle?
Seems as though Seagate is the way to go but here that their drives are noisy.
Also, is can anyone steer me to a link that explains how to go about doing the swap? Looks like my computer is currently running two drives in a RAID set up.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

the swap is straight but it is different if you are ready to replace the disk and migrate all data from the old to the new. In that case I use Accronix True Immage to cloan what i had in the old drive with the aid of an adapter ATA/SATA to USB2. they are very economic and saves you to have to purchase more expensive external enclosures.

Thanks for the quick reply.
So am I safe to assume once I cloan the drive I can just swap drives, plug the SATA drive in and I'm off an running? Should be pretty much seamless?
Thanks!
