Will this copy a 250GB onto a new 500GB ?

Copied info from 500 GB to 960 GB SSD; ran into problem and was unable to run programs on the new hard drive. when re-installing the original 500 GB drive files were corrupted. Took extensive effort to solve the issue

Yes, but you will not gain the benefits of the larger drive. The size available used by the computer it is placed in is only going to be the size you are copying.
1501844
yes it will, but afterwards you will have to extend the partition if you want to use the full drive.

Yes it will. Copying from a smaller drive to a larger always works. It's the other way around that it will not. To clone a larger to a smaller drive you would need to use software like Paragon which will allow you to not copy certain files.

Yes as said before, but you will need software to use the extra 250GB. The straight clone is just a copy of the original 250GB and the new drive thinks it's only a 250GB drive. The software will let you allocate the remaining for an alternate drive or a continuation of the same drive. I used EaseUS Partition Master and it worked fine.

Yes. Plug in to a USB port. The driver will load. Open your file manager and move your files to the new drive.

Make sure you read the directions (just a man thing). I don't say this trying to be smart but I found what I thought should be was not like it was designed. Check the size of the drive you are copying to. It has been awhile for me for more detail. Mine worked fine. I made sure I was copying to the same size. I suppose if you go say from a 100 Ggb to a 250 you may not gain more room on the new drive. Likewise, if you are going to a smaller drive it won't work. You can't pour a gallon into a quart it just won't work. Your target drive must be freshly formatted with nothing on it.

No, you just have to go through the lengthy process of re-downloading everything onto the new hard drive

Hi, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support. The included Acronis software does an image to image clone. This means what is on the source drive will be duplicated as it is onto the destination drive, no matter the number of partitions. As long as there is enough space on the destination drive for the program to allocate the partitions appropriately there should not be an issue. If one of the partitions is linux, it may not work properly as the software is not compatible with the linux file system. For any further assistance, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you. Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.

Yes, though i have not done it from the sn-301 directly. Go into the settings and explore the options for "format hdd". This may be what you're looking for.

I do not think so, but it might work if the 500gb drive had its own power supply. I am only guessing.

The new drive MUST have at least the same capacity as the original drive. In other words, the SSD drive must be equal to 300GB or more for it to wor, regardless of how much data you have on the original drive.

Yes, as long as the drive has enough space for every thing on the old hard drive.

Since I used a 1TB SATA drive, there is no reason the 250 GB drive should not work. Beware, your experience may be different than mine.

Yes. But its a lot of data and it takes a while to copy to the local drives.

Yes you can. I used this to upgrade from a SATA 128GB SSD to a 256GB SSD. You install the software, connect the new target SATA drive with the adapter, select the partition to copy and let it run. Took me 45 minutes to do this. I then shut down my PC, swapped drives and restarted the PC and I was back in business.

It should function just as the internal one with the same software, either native Win7 or whatever software you use to read/write. Just select the new drive from Explorer.

yes .... yes, the unit will start from a backup copy cloned and also of any partition
2103565
Yes. Just make sure the old drive is SATA. Remember to format it to windows file system NTSF if using windows.

When formatted the total storage is about 1.71 TB so if both if the total data required for the backups is less then yes. If its not then no.

It is possible... IF you can shrink your current system partition to under 250 GB. You can then use any partition backup software (Macrium, Acronis, etc) to clone your old drive. Assuming you are using Windows, Open Computer Management, under Storage select Disk Management. Wait for drives to load. Find your system drive (typically Disk0) and right click on the windows partition and select Shrink Volume. Your C: volume as well as the hidden system partition cannot total more than the available space on the destination HDD.
