Right now I have Windows 7 and apps installed on a 300gb hard drive, a 500gb for movies/music, and a 1tb for games. I've ordered a OCZ Agility 3 120gb SSD which is going to replace the 300gb harddrive. I'd really like to avoid reinstalling everything, so what I'd like to do is make an exact copy of my os drive (there's only 50gb or so on there) onto the SSD and replace the 300gb drive.

Are there any drawbacks or problems doing this?

Acronis True Image will copy from Hard Drive to SSD and properly align it.
