My new Vanquish 5 should be delivered tomorrow and I have never had an SSD before.

Is there anything I need to do or should do prior to installing software on the SSD or is it ready to go when DS ships it?

It will arrive ready to go. The only difference (and there really is one) is that startup and shut down (and everything in between) will be "crazy fast" as I have heard it described. Enjoy and hang on.Awesome

If you have never had a ssd, then get ready for some fast read/write/boot speeds.
