How hard is it to swap out hard drives?

Whats involved?

My Dell Mini 10V will arrive next week. It comes with the 120gb hdd, they refused to sell me the 64 SSD, and I had to fight to get Ubuntu.

Anyway, I wanted a spare Mini 10v, or Mini 9 to experiment with. And for backup. But prices on ebay on Mini 9's are too high to buy one.

So I wondered if keeping a spare 32gb ssd around might be the answer. I think a 32gb ssd is around $100.

I'm brand new to Ubuntu and the Mini 10V, but Ive used Ubuntu and love it.

Thanks for your help.

Jim

See for yourself. The video is about upgrading the RAM, but it gets to the hard drive on the way too.
