I just went to SSDs (Thanks to some great prices and rebates).
I was able to get a couple of 128gb SSDs for around 60.00 each.
I used a program called Macrium Reflect to create images of my C drive and my Project drive.
I have not had any issues restoring these and the performance boost is really nice. The reduced noise is also a plus. I look forward to going completely SSD. The only drive I have left is my main Data drive where all of my sample and VSTs live.
I am going to make a more dedicated effort to back up images more regularly ;^)
Also looking forward to X2 and down the road Windows 8 where I probably will take the plunge and clean install everything.
