Plug and play. just like changing out for a new HDD. I haven't tried it, but a lot of them come with a connection so you can copy and paste your old HDD contents, so when you plug in the new one, your OS boots right up with all of your drivers and media on it like you never changed a thing.

May be a bit late, but I currently have two computers both running 2x SSD's and a media drive. My SSD drives are GSkill, which is one of the smaller "unknown" companies. But they make excelent ram. I've been using their ram for quite a while now in several different computers and never had a problem with it. I recommend G.Skill to all of my friends, due to the price point vs quality that they provide. The one friend that did get a bad stick was able to RMA for a new stick, and had it in his hands with in a week.
My work PC is a bit older and running an older version of the drive's that are in my play PC. I've never had any issues with them, and I bought into SSD pretty much the second they came on the market.
