Hi guys,
Im thinking of buying a newer SSD. The current one I have is a Crucial 64GB M225 and it is used for windows7 and some programs.
Its health state is "good" but is 80%. Some programs say that the lifespan left on the drive is about 1.5 years. Whether that is true or not I dont know, it seems to be working okay just now. But its write speeds have never been great compared to other SSDs available now.
So here is my question - if I bought a new SSD, can I just copy the hd image over to the new one, or would I need to format and reinstall to get rid of any negative performance issues my current SSD has caused?
In other words, would it be detrimental to the performance of a new SSD if I copied my SSD's HD image to it?
