Does this come with the Migration Cable required to clone your old hdd into this ssd?

no you will need to buy that separate or buy a hard drive enclosure, i personally purchased one that is 3.0 usb for faster transfer speed.

No, it does not. I also tried a 3rd party HDD-to-SSD software migration tool yet it lacked adequate features to handle my situation.

Perfectly. All I had to do was to move a kind of protection and remover tab attached to the old HD for the new Samsung SSD. That's all. I know that some Hard Disks doesn't even have it. The size and position of the connectors are in the same place in both.

This ssd comes with the sata cable needed, this is, I suppose, an optional upgrade, but this does drastically improve you're overall system responsiveness, it also greatly improves boot times.

No just the drive. I guess they expect the motherboard comes with the cables, or that you will be replacing out an older drive.

When I purchased this it was just the drive. All other cables etc needed I either had or bought. Hope this helps.

Absolutely. Use Carbon Copy Cloner and that will work great. However, I would just take the old HDD and stick it in a drawer as a backup drive, get another SSD and use it as external super fast storage.

Yes. Mine came with one USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 with type A plug and one end with double plugs (to provide more current to a device if needed) and one e-SATA to e-SATA cable (most of the cases come with a e-SATA to SATA cable).

well yeah thats sort of the point with this thing. plug in power, a hard drive you want to clone, and the destination hard drive. hit the button and wait. when it tells you its finished you can install the HDD in a computer and it will work just like the old one.

Yes The cable you need is provided along with the Anker HD enclosure unit. Worked perfectly for me. You could still use the cable to connect the old SSD as an external drive, so it's not necessarily a one-time use.

Yes it does Samsung Data Migration. I used the tool myself to copy my Windows partition from an older 64GB SSD to a 128GB 840 Pro

I used this to replace an existing drive about a year ago. I do not remember having a extra cable, so it must not have included one.

Here is what I had to do. Format the SSD, so it will be recognized as a drive with a new drive letter. Don' forget, cloning will bring over your present operating system as well, so upgrade it first, if you want a new one.Both Samsung and Seagate have included software. Be sure only to use USB 2.0. bE ADVISED IF YOU HAVE A FAIRLY NEW MB, CONTACT THE MB Co. which SATA CONNECTIONS (PORTS) TO USE. SOME ARE TOO SLOW.

Your new drive may come with software and cables that will allow you to plug in both drives and transfer your data from the old to the new drive, or you may have to download the software and buy the cable elsewhere.

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.

No. The kit version includes a USB 3.0 to sata connector that connects from your computers USB port to the hard drive while the hard drive is outside your computer so you can copy all your old data to the new drive. Once the data has been moved, you must use your computers old internal wires and caddy/rails. If you are adding this device as a second internal hard drive, you will need to get an extra internal cable and caddy/rail. I replaced my old HDD with this SSD on my 5 year old HP, and boot time went from 3 minutes down to about 55 seconds. Then I got a new computer and installed the SSD as main drive, and boot time from completely shut down is about 18 seconds (new laptop, windows 8.1) it comes out of sleep/hibernate in 4-8 seconds including password entry. Very pleased with this purchase.
