How can i copy SDD to SDD using USB

[Colbaker]

Hi all,

I have an Intel Nuc but the 32GB SSD is not adequate, I have purchased a larger SSD but need to clone the 32gb one to the larger one, I also have a 32Gb USB 3.0 stick, Now i am sure this can be done but could someone please give me a little guidance on doing it i.e what software (free). I do have a couple of USB sticks if thats helpfull? Maybe one for boot from with clone software and one to clone to?

Thanks in advance guys.

Macrium Reflect Free will image the existing drive to allow you to install onto a bigger SSD

I'd personally download UBCD and use gparted.

Alternative it's included on Linux live CDs, you might have one knocking about.

Why not just clone it directly? Does the NUC not have enough SATA/power connectors?
