    Storage Solutions in Delhi, want to buy an SSD and figure out how to replace my hard disk with it

    thanks.. I didn't know one could conveniently find them in Nehru place.. I'd have to figure out some way to transfer the data from my old to my new disk.. Some way that'd copy everything 100% so it'd boot and so forth.. hmm..

    Wouldn't that cause trouble in terms of getting warranty service, dead pixel return etc..? That's the only reason I'm thinking of getting it from local distributors.. thanks for the help everybody
