  1. Hello, I need help and confirmation on knowledge I have researched from sites before buying an SSD for my MSi GT602OD Dominator(http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GT60-DOMI...3&sr=1-3&keywords=MSI+Computer+GT60+DOMINATOR). I have a 1 TB HDD installed right now, but I want to add an SSD in another bay, a Samsung 500 gig SSD(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OBRE5UE/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza). I have installed a HDD before and it was simple, but installing an SSD looks like a similar process with more steps. I have never installed an SSD before and need professional advice from forum warriors. 1. Will the Samsung SSD work in the msi gt60? 2. Do I need to buy a mounting kit and cable accessory in order to install and use the SSD? (Didn't need them when replacing a HDD) 3.I have Windows 8.1 OS already installed, do I need to order a Windows 8 CD to install for the SSD drive? 4. Can I use an external Hard drive to transfer the OS to the SSD (I don't know how to phrase this question)? 5. Will BSODs(blue screen of death) possibly occur? 6. Will I be able to install it myself by watching a youtube installation video? Should I buy the parts and then go to a PC repair shop location for them to install it? 7. Can I use the pre-installed BurnRecovery program to add data to the SSD? 8. Will I lose data on my main HDD when I install the SSD? Clarification, Super Raid 2 is available, but I will not be enabling RAID.
