A Cramped Hard Drive is a Sad Hard Drive

"To upgrade your hard drive without reinstalling everything, you'll need to use a utility to make an exact copy, or clone, from the old hard drive to the new one. A number of commercial tools will do this for you, and even some free Windows utilities can make a copy of your drive while your PC is running."

There comes a time when that trusty hard drive just cannot cut it anymore. Sure, it has seen you through many years of faithful service. It was there for you when you wanted to save a copy of your vacation at Sealand. It was there for you when you completed your dissertation on the Dread Tomato Addiction. But now, even hard drives have limits, and you must say goodbye. When it comes up upgarding your hard drive, cloning it is probably the fastest and easiest way to do it. However, I would like to propose one other solution that is not mentioned. If you do not need all the files on your computer at any time, a NAS may be a better solution. With a NAS, you can offload all those files that are really there just for archival purposes and just keep what you need on your hard drive. It can also help keep your folders much cleaner!
