What should I do with a second hand SSD?
I have bought a second hand 250 GB Samsung 840 Pro from ebay.
Is there anything specific I should do apart from format it?
I'm planning to put it in a Thinkpad X201 (which I also just got from ebay) but lots of people here talk about the Samsung Magicain software. I've tried looking but I'm not sure what it does.
Is this required or recommended or what? Will it help if I connect it via USB to my existing computer or do I have to wait until it is plugged into the SATA on the new laptop?
Sorry if I sound thick - it is my first SSD.
