<p>Exactly what I did. I use the HDD as a backup or just a drive to
store pix, etc. You could install a distro onto the SSD with it in
the enclosure. You'd have a cd or thumb drive with the install
version of whichever distro. Debian is simple really. Then you
could reboot from the remote SDD and check everything out. I would
be really surprised if you had a glitch of any king. The Gnu/Linux
distros have gotten very good and easy set up.<br>

but you never know. My Xubuntu units seem to keep me working.

<div class="gmail_default">I think that the plan is to
removed the platter drive which comes with the X240
and put that into the HDD enclosure to make it into an
external HDD and to put the SSD into the laptop and do
a fresh install.</div>

<div class="gmail_default">I'm thinking that it might be
a good idea to first test out all of the hardware to
make sure it's all working properly with the Windows
system which comes on the platter drive first, before
tinkering with stuff and not knowing if a problem is
related to faulty hardware or a problem with the
driver. I'm not sure.</div>
