What I mean about testing is:

1. Create a clone of your OS drive with all your programs

2. Disconnect your OS drive and connect your Clone drive.

3. See if your system boots up from the clone drive with all your programs and VSTs is running smooth as silk so you don't miss a beat in your work day.

Now, you could probably just go into your BIOS and tell your computer to boot off the clone drive
without physically disconnecting and then connect the clone drive in it's place, but it would be sweet if you did. Just like if you had a real drive crash.
