what a GREAT disappointment...
Lots of Lenovo build in programs can't be used, Bitdefender AV 2013 plus also got problem, lots of werfault problems, windows defender can't run...now trying downloading avira free and use
I can't even change my user account picture!!

some hdd model can push to 60 degree....
but in my opinion, reaching max temp =/= overheat

i'm using CPUID HWMonitor

My friend's friend's samsung laptop HDD die within one year after exploding it in 6X-70'c in long term

switching to SSD is a great idea, cause SSD doesn't produce as much heat as HDD...is like 3X lower heat it generates compare with HDD....
for me, 128GB is more than enough for me...the rest, i will leave it to my USB3.0 external HDD....however, 1 thing i do like about windows 8, it feels tons lighter than windows 7 !!!

I dont have any link.. but it's my assumption from my experience... could be wrong but until someone proves it's wrong, I think that's the way to go...

My current installation of Win8 is actually from the RM50 upgrade offer and I did clean installation from DVD that I burnt after I download it (come to think of it, where did I keep the DVD....  ) at first I thought I can't do clean installation directly and need to upgrade after I restore Win7 first, but I give it a try anyway and it works flawlessly (and I'm glad or else I had to find another bloatware free Win7 first))

So, I figured you should be able to do dual-booting from that clean installation as well (though I'm not 100% sure on the steps) unless Microsoft did put some restrictions on the upgrade pack copies to prevent dual-booting...
that's why I dont really mind with the 500GB HDD staying wherever it is... stored important data inside my NAS and clouds, whatever inside the local HDD is only for immediate needs... if it's dead early, that's when I claimed the warranty and grabbed the SSD... 

SSD is always best for boot and system drives, not storage...
typical storage, flashdrives or pendrives are more than enough, cause they're not using mechanical too...i always prefer flashdrives and memory cards(class 10)
