I have never used an SSD.
I bought a Samsung 840EVO SSD - mainly to see what effect it may have on
wading through large collections of large photo files.
I assumed that the system would see it as 'just another SATA driv'e.
It does and it doesn't.

PC Win 8.0, spar SATA connector.

Drive has standard SATA power and data connectors.

ALL the setup documentation that I have seen suggests you must setup the
drive with a USB to SATA converter and that you are going to want to clone
your OS and application files to the SSD.

Connecting as a SATA drive and booting from normal book disc causes the SSD
to appear as a low capacity drive. Running the provided Samsung program on
the SSD leads you back to the "clone my hard drive menus.

Is there any was to easily and simply just use this as a standard drive?
Hopefully without needing a USB to SATA converter.
