ghosting with ssd's

[Lucifer Morning Star]

I am currently using an Intel X25-V SSDSA2MP040G2R5 2.5" 40GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive but it ran out of room about 4 hours after I installed win7 and a few other essentials. I would like to buy the OCZ Agility Series OCZSSD2-1AGT120G 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive and ghost my current ssd to it or run the two in raid. Right now i'd be happy just to replace my current ssd. The main thing holding me back is that I am not sure whether you can ghost one ssd to another. If so, how would I go about doing it?

You can. Use something like Acronis (or the free WD version of it), or you can create an image using Win 7 and then restore the image to the new drive.

Just run the Windows Backup and Restore program, and select Create a System Image over on the left.

I am thinking of doing the same thing. Will I run into any alignment problem if I use Acronis or Windows backup program?

If you are using Win 7 then you won't have any problem with using the built-in Backup and Restore function. The newer versions of Acronis are SSD aware as well, but I don't know which version started supporting them natively.
