Crucial (www.crucial.com/uk) are selling a Crucial 256gb M4 for £124.00 - just put one in my 15" MBP - WOW! It came with the latest firmware installed so didn't need an upgrade.
Swap the disks and put the old internal in an external box, boot from that disk then do the clone - much more reliable. Probably won't make much difference with a 256gb disk but 1tb disks don't like to be partitioned/formatted/cloned outside them machine then installed, dunno why, they just don't. Chris Webb .
