Replace HDD in Sony HAP Z1ES with an SSD

I'd like to replace the (original) HDD in my HAP Z1ES with a solid state drive of perhaps 2.5 TB capacity. I'd appreciate any advice/caveats/taboos?

I replaced the internal drive on my HAPZ1 with a 2TB SSD Micron drive ($297.00 on Amazon). Once the drive is replaced, power up the HAPZ1 and you will be prompted to format the SSD. Follow the instructions and let the drive finish formatting. When the formatting is done copy your music onto the new SSD. Done! There are step-by-step instructions online to swap out the drive if you need them. Just use google.
