Macbook Pro SSD upgrade

[stek]

Just finished cloning the drive. 360GB in 4hrs 40mins. I did get a bit confused about why it was "blessing" the drive at the end though!

The very sad and slightly disconcerting thing is that my test boot from the new drive in a USB2.0 cradle was far faster than my normal drive boot...

'Blessing' is the old OS9 and previous term for 'making bootable'!

I was right... the biggest pain is Office. It point blank refused to run, requiring the key be entered, my key then said activated too many times. The Microsoft helldesk was about as useless as BT's helldesk in getting someone to understand that it was just a HD upgrade, the rest of the machine was still the same and, no, it wasn't a new PC I was trying to install Office for Mac 2011 on. FFS.

Never mind that, is it quick?

Blazingly quick. Timed from on to last boot item loaded (Viber) at 24 seconds. I turned on a Win7 VM that's been playing up lately and it loaded in 17 seconds rather than the couple of minutes it was before.

Still need to work out a reasonable way to do my Bootcamp as I can't find my Win7 license key.
