Josh, thanks for the links. I have a Gateway DX 4885 desktop which has an empty bay for a 2nd HD. How about putting the SSD there? I notice there are different connectors. When an SSD is called "internal" does that mean it connects like an internal HD? I would not need the case and for backup would clone from SSD to HD after the setup is done.

Amazon has it for $3 less amazon.com

Josh, I found out Crucial includes Acronis software when you buy this SSD: Crucial MX300 275GB SATA 2.5" for $90
crucial.com

Includes free Acronis® True Imageā„¢ HD software for easy data migration
Compatible with the Crucial Storage Executive tool for easy drive maintenance


They also have free SSD monitoring software crucial.com

PS: I have not tried this software

and here is the link to the SSD you recommended which entitles you to free Acronis software newegg.com
