External hdd

Which I don't have.

Even if I did, I still wouldn't look forward to moving 500GB.

But yeah, it's about time to get an external HD. Finally some use for those e-sata ports.

There's some pretty good deals out there.

I don't envy you haveing to move 500gb's

Actually, it's another excuse to gain a minor performance boost.

Think I'll replace the 640GB WD Caviar Blue with a Caviar Black, moving the "old" drive to an external enclosure for backup purposes. That way I won't even have to move anything; just pop in the new drive, properly format it and install Win7 RC. Problem solved.
