Can anyone tell me if this device will size of partitions (as in, if I'm upgrading a drive)? Some do, some don't, very few say either way....

it copys great to a hdd of same size or larger only it will not copy a larger drive to a smaller one will make perfert copy it takes time one to 6 hours will copy partitions same size so if you have a 1tb hdd and copy to a 2tb hddthe 2 tb hdd will show up as 1tb you will then need to expand the hdd in windows disk management to expand drive will not resizepartitions they reman same size

what? will size of partitions? As long as the destination drive is the same size or larger than the original drive, you're good to go. If that's what you're asking.

It is a hardware clone tool, I can't see any way partition until after the clone is made. Then you can go into disk management and make a new partition with the extra space on the drive. I cloned a 500gb hard drive, and there were two partitions that used 120 gb, the resultant min size of these two partitions was 320gb leaving me the remaining space to make other partitions or do whatever I like.

I've actually copied a few smaller to larger drives, but I can't remember how it handled the partition on the new drives. If it didn't automatically resize to fill the drive, then it was trivial to do within Windows because I know I didn't spend a lot of time doing it, and I definitely didn't use partitioning software.

Not directly though you can ghost to a larger drive then use windows to move the partition. Slick simple device. I've only had a few drives that were failing have a tough time copying.

good evening, I will actually install a 32 gb and not think of any problem, now I have a 16 gb and goes just as well.

Looks like the size question got answered already, after using it for a few months it seems the C drive is really just supposed to be 100% for your operating system. The system will boot/restart in a matter of seconds. the 1TB 5400RPM Hard Drive has plenty of capacity to store everything else.

I checked three of my Flash Drives for you. 1) I have a couple of 64Gb Sandisks: Each showed about 59.5GB Free space. 2) A 128Gb Corsair Survivor: Showed about 119Gb Free Space. 3) A 256Gb Corsair Survivor: Showed about 138GB Free Space. The percentages all seemed to be about the same--- I use NTFS on the Corsairs and Ex-FAT on the Sandisk.

I have had the drive as my main operating system, as well as mass storage drive for almost a year, and so far, it has been reliable, fast, and quiet. However, as the previous person responded, I am using Linux, which does put less stress on the drive and the file system is a bit better at file allocation, ETC...My experience is very positive in this environment. (Using the 3TB version partitioned into three sections)

You likely already figured it out by now but for others searching for answers it more likely than not as it should average about 119gb of data. I did have a pny turbo that had 126gb of data but when encountered errors with it the represenative told me 128 drives average between 115-119gb of data so is likely that one was corrupted. . .

No. I have a TB in mine. They are the same size no matter what size the GB/TB drive size is.

I believe the drive I installed in it was 1TB. Actually, as long as it's a 2.5 inch drive, the capacity, I believe, is irrelevant.

The Windows8_OS drive, or C:\ has 957,248,172,032 bytes or 891 GB and LENOVO, Local Disk or D:\ has 26,843,541,504 bytes or 24.9 giggle bites, so that's 915.9 GB total! And you can make more partitions. ... Is that what you meant?

I personally found Actonis to be significantly less than useful. Was a poor purchase decision. As far as migration / upgrade of HDD size or types, I simply used windows back-up to create an image on my 3TB external Seagate HDD and a recovery DVD set. Then I did my drive swap, made sure my PC had the DVD as an alternate boot drive and then booted from the recovery DVDs. Piece of cake, albeit a lengthy process.

The one I have is for 3.5", Data capacity is 720KB, 1.25MB, 1.44MB (Formatted). Have not found a drive for the 5.25" disk yet myself.

Cool, different OS or OS that only supports FAT32 is one of those applications. I looked it up and the limitation in W7+ is you can only format partitions up to 32GB as FAT32 the easiest way to get around that is some free partitioning software. I use gparted Live CD because I know it's not bundled with Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) but there are a lot of other options. If you want to see the disks as separate (JBOD) that works best with USB with eSATA you may need a SATA controller that supports port multiplier.

thanx for posting this.. i have no idea why, and I just bought one.. so I'm going to check my dvd/cd drive too! Also, is your drive partitioned correctly? My D drive had more gigs than C..

the largest drive i'm using with this is 2TB, but I see no reason why 4TB shouldn't work, as long as you have 64 bit windows.

This whole thing is a scam, nothing else. Nothing to do with cluster size.The drives have a capacity of maybe 16 gb or something, they are programmed to show more.I walked in a similar trap 3 years ago.If you have time to spend, google 'fake usb' or something like that.

There are 4 drive bays. I haven't done so, but I understand you can rig the DVD slot for an additional drive. I have already added USB external without a problem. As far as the larger that 2TB drives - sorry, I haven't tried that. I'm running two small drives to handle the OS in a RAID configuration and 2-2TB drives in a RAID for everything else. Just haven't had a reason to upgrade beyond 2TB yet.

The largest drive I've installed is 500GB, but I'm using 4 of them in two different systems (2 each), and am very pleased with them. I use Acronis True Image backup to multiple partitions on my backup drives, which are easily swapped out with the power off.
