    I hope to receive my 1720 soon and was thinking about replacing the free 5400rpm HDD with a 7200rpm to increase speed and performance.

    Is this a difficult task or can I just copy everything from one drive to the next. I'm not sure if this method would transfer all the partitions and data correctly or cause problems with the bios.
