Cloning from SSD > Mechanical

At the moment I clone from SATA > SATA

Would it be an issue cloning from SSD > SATA and vise versa?

I will be in AHCI mode which is not supposed to effect SSD drives at all


Acronis home is used to clone

Thanks

SSD to SATA should be ok, but you might have sector alignment issues with SATA to SSD. Does Acronis explicitly support SSDs?

Ok, found the relevant info for you:

The following Acronis products have full Solid State Drive (SSD) support:

Acronis Backup & Recovery 11
Acronis True Image Home 2011
Acronis True Image Home 2012
Acronis Disk Director 11 Home

All other Acronis products support Solid State Drives (SSD) with certain limitations:

You can perform all the same operations with SSDs as with regular hard disk drives;
There are no special partition alignment mechanisms required to keep the partitions offset which is optimal for SSD drives. In other words when you restore an image to an SSD drive, it will get the default 63 sectors offset instead of 64kb (or a multiple of 64kb) offset recommended for SSD drives even if this offset was in place when the image had been created. This may result in a drop of performance on certain models of SSD drives after the restore;
Support for SSD drives is also planned for the next version of the Acronis Backup & Recovery product line.
