Will this work with Samsung Data Migration Software to transfer Data from HDD to Samsung 840 EVO-Series SSD 1TB?

Yes. That's exactly what I used it for. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate. I did not try it on the Mac platform, but apparently there is no Data Migration tool for a Mac. I guess you're just supposed to clone your boot drive there. For Windows, it works great. You can use this for a variety of reasons besides SSD data migration, and even if your mobo doesn't support USB 3, it is backward compatible with USB 2.

Yes it works with Samsung migration software and it works smoothley Remember to plug the power supply that comes with it.I transfered about 340 g of data from my old drive to a new Samsung 840 evo 1 TB and I had no problems. It took about 5 hours. Cheers.

Probably not, if your enclosure has a USB 3.0 cable. If so, you should be able to download the cloning software from Samsung & let 'er rip

Yes! Everything you need (aside from the cable) is available on Samsung's website. Do a google search for Samsung data migration software. The site has the magician program and PDF instructions.

Yes. It does work with a solid state hybrid drive. It even works with a SSD.

For the solid state drive I use Samsung 840 EVO 2.5 inch 250 GB.Works wonderful!

Hello Dinesh the Samsung 840 series SSD is compatible in any computer or laptop and connects to the same type of sata cable that your 1 TB sata HD does.

I don't have an 850, but don't see any reason it wouldn't. I have tried a variety of SSD's (Kingston, Crucial and older Samsungs) and all work perfectly.

No. Absolutely ZERO software for cloning, migrating, optimizing, etc.... It's really sad. NO ONE in the industry even comes close to the Samsung SSD Magician software. This is a REALLY FAST SSD though. Faster than the 840 EVO and 840 Pro.... but sometimes the add-in software makes all the difference if you're not technical. In my case, I was able to use Western Digital's branded version of Acronis TrueImage for free b/c my original boot from which I migrated was a 1TB WD Green drive.

Yes it will work from SSD to a regular hard drive and vice a versa. It also works with different physical size drive like 2.5" to 3.5" etc. As long as the size you are copying to is equal to or larger than the original size. 500GB to 500GB or 320GB to 1TB.

I know this works with the MacBook Pro (I have one); however, if it is a mid-2012, I'd definitely get the 840 pro version as for a couple of extra dollars, you get a little better performance and, I believe, a 5 year vs 3 year warranty from Samsung. A friend with an older Mac with Snow Leopard has this and it works fine, too. Can't say anything about the new evo series as I have no experience with it, yet. Also, the migration software from Samsung is Windows only, so you'd need to find an iOS program....there are several out there. Check out the mac forums for several suggestions. hth

I put an i7 4790k and a Samsung 850 Evo 120gb SSD in this and they work fine. (4770 and 4790 are same chipset). I can't speak for the hybrid drives but I would assume they will work as well.

My both SSDs are branded Intel. However I think this cable should be working with any SATA HD. As my experience, vendor specific utility may have some tricky to lock users in their own cables though.

Yes the SV300S37A (cheaper one) does not come with the conversion kit. i.e. transfer wire, software and case to hold the old drive while copying your data over to the ssd.

Good question, it works with every other SATA .. it shouldn't be a problem. I haven't tried it on an SSD.

It did not work for my Samsung 850 SSD if i used the included Samsung software because this cable kept their software from recognizing the SSD as genuine Samsung. You can get around this by using generic cloning software or using another cable. I was worried about free downloads so I changed to a Samsung cable.

I don't know. I am not an IT expert. I bought the item just like you did and I am having issues with the SSD in my laptop and assured it would work. It first would not read the operating systen after I cloned the SSD. Now it doesn't recognize the drive. I am a little ticked at the seller as I believe they knew there was a compatibility issue and lied to me.

Yes, it works just like any other SATA drive. Just plug it in. But the big benefit is speed. An SSD makes a huge difference, but be sure to activate the "Rapid" function via the enclosed software from SamSung, you get another 100% boost in benchmark speed. I would do a fresh install of Windows and programs. However, Samsung does include a "clone" software for the SSD that has one function, all or nothing, and works very, very well. Try that first if you have a system and programs that you want to migrate to the new computer. But if you are new to Lenovo, the best long-term is to make everything fresh so there are no Qwirks.
