I have a thinkpad X61, originally 120gb upgrading to 320gb. Ez upgrade is quite confusing since they don't give me an actually manual and you have to go to their website to get one. Here's a brief instruction:
- Delete any unnecessary files (you don't want to waste time on this)
- Clean up and defragment laptop
- Turn off laptop
- Connect Ez upgrade to laptop via USB and put disc in laptop
- Boot laptop with disc already in laptop and ez upgrade connected

I bought this kit to copy over my 30gig notebook hard drive to a new 80gig hard drive. I pretty much followed the instructions, copied the drive, installed the new copy - and viola my laptop now runs the same as it used to except I've got an 80 gig hard drive with lots of room!
Plus, I reformatted my old drive and used it in the enclosure as a 30gig storage device.
The enclosure is a nice machined aluminum - a class act. The software is pretty straight forward. I actually ... Read More

I just got the Apricorn EZ-UP-UNIVERSAL EZ Upgrade Universal Hard Drive Upgrade Kit as a Christmas present. I used it to upgrade a 30GB Hitachi drive in my Dell Latitude C640 to a 160GB Seagate. I was glad I read the reviews for some of the feedback because I had a couple of issues, but a day later, it's like I have a new computer. My laptop has only a 1.1 USB port, so it was slow going (6 hours) as others mentioned, but I didn't have to use an external power supply. I do strongly recommend that you go to ... Read More
Rating: - easy upgrade for Dell Inspiron 600m
The Apricon EZ Upgrade kit worked flawlessly to upgrade the disk in a Dell Inspiron 600m with Windows XP. Cloning the Dell's 60GB disk to a new 250GB Western Digital WD2500BEVE took about an hour for copying, and a few more minutes to swap the drives. If you upgrade this or similar Dells, you will need to remove the pin adapter from the old drive and put it onto the new drive before inserting the new drive in the Dell drive caddy.
Rating: - It works.
The cloning software works and is easy to use. The drive enclosure is very well made and can be used as a nice external drive enclosure when not cloning hard drives. I saved a lot of money by swapping hard drives myself rather than using a shop. Highly recommended.
