Question 1

How difficult is this to install?

Accepted Answer

Extremely easy. Go to the Website to check on software and firmware updating. You will be walked through everything. I would pull all drives and plug in this SSD and load your OS onto it. Then once it is up and running do a firmware update before you begin using the drive; this way if the firmware update causes you to lose data, you only are out a new install of your OS. You should not have any issues.
