My laptop has a seta III interface. will it work. do you include a way to clone my 250 GB hd to yours?

I bought the 512GB version to replace SATA III HDD in my Dell laptop. It's working perfectly. The package included a "key" for a cloning software (which is to be downloaded), but I did not use it as I wanted to perform a fresh installation.

Yes it will work - seeing it is already using a 500gb SATA hard drive - so you should be fine to swap it out with 750gb hard drive. Hope this helps!

It would have been helpful if you had described what you intend to do. Clone what, exactly, would be a good start. And do you have any extra hardware available, such as an unused HDD that could be used for temporary storage?

instructions say no. however I would try something in desperation. change the 300gb drive to allocate less than 250gb, maybe that will work. I hope so because I will be trying the same thing at some point. otherwise use free cloning software (with a recovery disk). btw, this device is the only way I have found to clone a "dynamic" disk easily. Thank you HP for that nightmare.

I actually returned the unit as I wanted to clone more than one PC hard drive to it, but learned that it was not possible to do this. I have two big LaCie drives where I do exactly what you'd like to do. It works well. I can only assume (note assume) that that backup process can work with his drive. Richard Chay

SATA 3 should be backward compatible. I use this to clone SATA drives. Contact StarTech.com to be sure.

It's really not compatible with anything. All the adds you see for it are people taking it apart and using it for something else. I tried getting several softwares to work in both my Toshiba Satalite and my MacBook Pro. Nothing worked.

The drive should be compatible with your laptop. Hopefully, your existing drive isn't totally gone and you have the means to transfer your existing info to the new drive.

Yes you could, what you need to know....... The drive inside is a std length (~2"/50mm) long w/ the M2 interface. If you are going to clone the original drive you will need to get a M2 to SATA adapter to make it easy.

IDE is a different interface than SATA. The transfer DID work for me with a Windows 7 upgrade, however.

Haha yes just be sure you have the 250 gb option selected. I know they merge various versions under the same reviews so just be careful.

I believe so. I have cloned many drives to 500gb, 750gb and 1 terabyte drives using acronis software

If the old drive worked I can see no reason why the new one wouldn't do the same. Make sure all your drivers are up to date. GK

Yes you should be able to do this using something like Clonezilla or Accronis I believe. However, if you are cloning your main drive to the external, you will not be able to use it during that time of course.

This is a great product for your mSata external drive. I was able to put my 250 Gig on it. It doesn't come with any software. And you will need to use one you already have. I was able to do my system transfer image since I was upgrading my computer to a higher capacity drive with Altiris software. And was going to be using my old internal computer as a external storage afterwards. Hope this answers and helps your question.

I was able to clone a bootable drive (with original and new drive both plugged into the docking station) via the eSATA port using "dd" successfully. The Thermaltake duet, although it is listed as passing SAT commands, will not secure erase via hdparm through the USB 2.0 cable, unknown if it will through the eSATA but not worth the effort if you want to erase the drive. Otherwise, you can format it in Windows or Linux (gparted etc) via the USB 2.0 connection.

I think it should work as ir is SATA2 interface and this hdd is SATA2 and SATA3 compatible. Height is 9.5mm the same as VAIO discs.
