First ssd installation procedure ?

[LeeLuck]

Hi All,
Firstly thanks for reading, I wanted to build a new system some time ago but circumstances have pretty much stopped that for now so I have decided to just update a few things in my old work horse starting with the hard drive, I have with your advice on an old thread purchased a Samsung SSD 840 along with W7 Pro 64bit. I assume I just unplug my existing drives and plug this one into sata 1 and install the OS ?? or do I, is there a procedure I need to be aware of first, I.e. bios settings etc ?
Thanks for any advice as I am a total noob with SSD's, it came with a disk also, do I need this ?
Cheers,
Lee.

You've got it right. Just make sure to enable AHCI mode in the BIOS.

And don't ever defrag it haha.

Instead of using the disk just go online and download Samsung's latest software for your SSD.
Although I believe Samsung's RAPID option has only been released for 840 pro and EVO drives, it's worth checking up on.
