does included cloning software will work on crucial m4 ssd ?

Can't say for certain, however, I recently cloned an 80gb SSD to a 240 using it without a hitch, very straightforward and simple to use.

I did not try to clone a active hardrive like your question but you can try. However, you can use a clone from Samsung SSD drive software to clone your active harddrive, I what I did with my laptop

yes you don't have to use the enclosed software for the ssd to work. but look at the read/write speeds to see if that is what you need. also look at the sandisk website for more info.

I'm using a "Crucial M500 M.2 2280 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT120M500SSD4 " that I caught on sale for $46 for boot and antivirus, with a 500GB ssd for pgms and a 1TB for snapshots and data. No problems with install from optical disk, no problems running Win7. Not any faster than a standard ssd. Consider what you will do when the M.2 ssd fails, do you have a back up replacement ready to go? Or will you revert to a standard ssd?

I use it for direct drive to drive copies. It doesn't cone with cloning software. I've never tried

Yes, provided the SSD has as much space as you need. I moved the data folders (documents, pictures, music, etc.) onto a standard hard drive, then cloned just the operating system and most-used programs onto the SSD. That gives fast boot and response from the SSD, but cheaper bulk storage on the standard hard drive.

I'm not sure either sorry. Go to crucial to find out. I have a M500 480GB in a 3 yr old Dell Inspirion M5010. I wouldn't purchase a 120GB anyway. 480GB or larger. BTW, If want to clone your old drive, you will have to purchase a HDD USB cable separately for the M500. You will want to purchase a SSHD unit that has been on the market for a while to make sure the bugs are all out of that particular model.

Mine did not come with cloning software. You can go to seagate's site and download their program called disk wizard I think. I used that to clone my seagate hybrid drive to the 600.

Yes! See this official Crucial page: http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=2DD54744A5CA7304

When I got mine what I did was download a free copy of Macrium Reflect, then use the clone option. I had to call Microsoft to reactivate, but it was really easy (it was only on 1 computer - that's the only question they asked). Then I installed the Samsung Magician software, and told it to change all of Window's settings to maximum performance for a SSD.

I'm sorry. I'm not all that up to date with SSD's. I'm not sure if it will work.

Yes. The clone will be identical to the original. SSD behave the same as regular hard drive (although much faster)

Should be. But, without testing the drive one cannot be sure. It may be compatible in that your computer could see the drive and read and write to it. Not sure if the Samsung software would be able to see the drive and handle TRIM and other SSD specific operations.

I can't say for certain if it does or not. But one way you should be able to tell is by checking the pins to see if they match; on your motherboard and on the drive. Most mSATA SSD ports should be compatible with most mSATA SSDs though.

This is basically what I did, but I just put my SSD directly into my MBP, did a clean install of Mavericks, and moved over my desired files. It had been a while since I did a clean install, so I preferred to do it this way versus a clone. Now the HDD can be an external drive.

Hi Mike,The Acronis software included in the bundle kit, is only available on the DVD but is not required in general to clone your original drive to the SSD. There are a multitude of alternate cloning software programs available online that you can use that work well. One that is known to work with our SSDs is called Macrium Reflect. They have a free version that fully works.Thank you for considering the V300 Notebook Kit.-Jewel, Kingston US Technical Support
