Imation SSD Upgrade Kit makes your old drive useful again

The price of SSDs keeps coming down and as they get cheaper, they are getting more and more attractive to me. I would like to put one in my work computer to speed things up. The things that I worry about when upgrading a HDD is getting data off the old drive and onto the new one and then what to do with the old HDD after the SSD update is complete.

Imation has unveiled a new SSD Upgrade Kit today that includes an external enclosure for your old drive so you can use it as an external storage device after the upgrade. The enclosure requires no power supply
, which means it can be powered by USB.

The SSD in the upgrade kit is the Imation M-class SSD featuring 10-bit ECC. The SSD has sequential read speed of 230MB/sec and a 170MB/sec write speed. The SSD is a 2.5-inch unit and the upgrade kits start at $194.99 for a 64GB SSD and a 128GB version is available.
