The small addtional cost for, the hassle free experience of the data transfer, alone makes it worth it. Plus it literally takes 5 seconds to uninstall the old one and install the new one. Again hassle free. Stop making a big deal out of nothing. Microsoft made it easy on the everyday consumer to swap out HDs, and for that convienence you will pay a little more for it. I for one see no problem with that |
And then if you pop your old hard drive and transfer cable separately on eBay or Craigslist you can make $20-40 each, even more if your old hard drive 60 or 120gb, making the upgrade quite cheap once you reach the net cost.
Back when 120gb drives were the max, I bought one for $120 on sale, sold my 20gb and transfer cable for a combined $80 so the 120gb was only $40.
