Can I clone a 480 gig kingston ssd from a 500 gig sata hd?

Hi. The hard drive that you are copying the data to needs to be the same capacity or a larger capacity than the hard drive that the data is on. You will get error light at the end of the cloning if this is not the case, because the Vantec reads every bit of space on the data drive, even if it is empty space, and copies the empty space too. Hope this helps.

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.

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!

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

I was looking for SATA3 chipset adapter with USB3 which will allow to clone 1TB hard drive in about 30 minutes to an SSD.

Yes I did. if it don't work, download easeus data partition and partition data before you clone. I went from 1tb HDD to 512 ssd with no problems

Or you can use a program like SuperDuper and duplicate your hard drive directly onto the SSD

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.

sometimes, i buy 3 SSD kingston, but not all the software allow me to manage the partitions to be clone at will.I will say 60% of the time works fine.

You should be fine. The target drive has to be SATA, but the source drive will be read by the controller on the mobo. The supplied cord will not plug into the old drive, so you won't be able to use it to interface the old drive later.

I think the easiest thing to do would be to install one of the 750gb drives and let WHS incorporate it into your array. Then tell WHS that you want to remove the original 500gb drive. It *should* transfer all of your data from that drive to your new one, allowing you to remove it and then install the remaining new drives.

yes as long as the drive is not encrypted. I cloned by 500 Hard drive to the SSD 500 GB drive with no issues. once cloned took out the hard drive and plugged in the SSD, booted right up.

You should be able to clone an SSD with this adapter, but some folks have reported issues with booting after doing so. I suspect it could be a sector alignment issue, use a smart cloning software and it should work.

No. With the Startech Hard Drive Duplicator, you have to use a hard drive that has the same storage capacity or higher as the hard drive you're trying to clone. So, you will need a 500 GB (SATA or SSD) in order to clone your 500 GB hard drive. The duplicator copies sector-by-sector so you need equal sized hard drives.

If the reason you are making the change from the 1TB drive is to go to solid state, you should have no problem making the change to the 500 GB SSD. I bought the 500 SSD to hold only my operating system and the files that go with the default C drive. All programs and other files go to a different drive or drives. Hope this helps.

No, this is SATA; IDE is defunct. You can use that old drive as a paper weight. Also get a Solid State Drive and enjoy about 10x improvement in hard drive speed. SSDs are worth every penny.

I'm pretty sure that you can replace the 128GB SSD with a larger MSATA SSD. I have not done it myself, but I opened up the laptop and saw the MSATA that's in there. I didn't see any place to put an additional internal drive.
