Cloning existing SSD?

redzep · 17 Oct 2013 at 11:59

Hi all, just received my Samsung SSD 840 EVO, however I have bought the 'basic' package inadvertently without a SATA to USB 3.0 connector supplied! :rolleyes:

and do not have one in my possession!

Now I have the Samsung data migration software installed but unsure if it is appropriate and possible to still transfer/clone my current entire operating system and existing data from my current installed SSD ?

Or should I just purchase a said SATA to USB 3.0 connector and wait ?

Any advice most appreciated, thanks.

I found the Sammy migration software to be crap, best of using Acronis 2014 with full SSD support

Samsung migration tool it works but make sure to have a updated one from their site as I had problems with the one on the cd that comes with the ssd

Easeus Todo Backup Free.

I`ve used it dozens of times for cloning and producing backups.

It's given me no bother and is fairly easy to use.

I use Macrium Reflect, easy to use and works really well.
