Hey guys,

I need to clone a hard drive. I have done this before, its been a few years since i last did it, and i cant remember which software i used.

Whats a good solution out there at the moment?

I've had great results with Macrium reflect.

Depends on the size of your drives, Ghost will be fine on anything upto 2TB.

If there's issues with the drive, this just throws up a NOPE! error. :mad:

Ended up using OSFClone myself to clone the other half's laptop drive with a couple of bad sectors to a new drive. Took a good few hours, but worked extremely well.

I use Macrium reflect.

I use EaseUS Todo Backup Home, great for cloning and backups.

Macrium reflect has never let me down. Recommend it.

I also use EaseUS Todo.

Tried Macrium a few times with varying degrees of success. Todo seems to be slightly more reliable, and I prefer the user interface.

Clonezilla, I use it at work. Cloned / Restored literally 100's of disks, its never failed.
