Just the drive. No cradle. No software to clone. Some adapter that was useless.

No software. Only a plastic thin frame to mount the ssd. Look for superclone best cloner software

It doesn't come with cloning software any more than any HDD would, and the thin spacer it comes with are where it would be replacing a thicker older 2.5" drive.

Hi. It comes with two 750gb x 2 drives, so you can replace one with ssd if you want. included hard drives perform as typical hard drives. nothing special, but it does its job storing and great in a sense that u get two gigantic sized hard drives. u can just buy one of WD ext hdds at a cheap cost if you want an additional space.

The drive has software that 'clones' your existing drive. all files, including the operating system, are copied. Once that is done, you can delete any files you don't want on the SSD & still find them in their original place on the hard drive.

I just added an SSD in the m2 slot and used imaging software to clone the drive. In my experience with Windows 8, it actually stores the Windows 8 key in the BIOS, so it will install with the correct key by itself (only with computers shipped with Windows 8).

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.

I bought that computer for my son, he loves it, no problems. Unfortunately I don't know what a ssd drive is, nor does he, so I can't give you any info on that.

Yes, I have done that. I installed the new hard drive in the second drive location in the computer box. Then all you have to do is run the clone process. After that completed I moved the drive C: cable to the new drive and removed the old drive from the box. I recommend saving the old drive in case of a failure in the new drive (it happened to me).

You can buy this with SSD already included. This brand has dozens of models in this size of every possible option and I have one like this with SSD.

I think there is a SSD in there, however it doesn't show up in the OS (I don't know if it is part of the HD, like a combo or separate). I do notice that it seems to speed up after a couple boots. The HD in this PC is slow, but my often used programs seem to come up fairly quickly.

It would not by itself :). There are a few cloning softwares that would do that. Some ssd's would come with cloning software installed but I don't know if this one does. Also keep in mind the size of the data on the original HD not to exceed your drive capacity

Yes the SV300S37A (cheaper one) does not come with the conversion kit. i.e. transfer wire, software and case to hold the old drive while copying your data over to the ssd.

It depends in which software that you use, I believe there is some paid software that can clone only the OS but as always it is recommended to just reinstall straight onto the SSD

It simply replaces your original 3.5 hard disk drive, it comes with instructions and software to clone your original drive, and it also has an adapter to make it fit the 3.5" slot in your computer. You will need a USB to SATA adapter to move the data from your original drive to the SSD. Also make sure your original drive uses the same type cable (SATA not PATA).

No it won't and cloning the drive is not a good idea. You'll want to install windows directly onto the ssd and use the hdd as a backup

My SSD came with a migration CD with software which worked flawlessly for me. It transferred from my HDD while in Windows, then automatically set the boot after restart. With many worries about aligning the partition, turning on TRIM, etc. I can say this was one of the most worry free SSD installs I've done.

Hook up the SSD to the PC. Restart the PC with the CD that came with it in the CD drive and boot from it. Start the cloning software and clone your current HD to the SSD. Unplug/remove the old drive or change setting in BIOS to tell the PC to boot from the SSD if you want to keep the old drive installed.
