Does it come with software to transfer the image from old hard drive to the new hard drive?

None as far as I know of. I purchased the 480 gig version and all that came with it was the SSD and an adapter to make it fit in a 9mm drive space if needed. The Crucial website sells software to assist in installing the SSD so check it out to see if that will help.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is it depends on what kind of data and where is the hard drive is and do you have a spare disk controller port. If your old hard drive is failing it may be anywhere from easy to nearly impossible depending on the current state of the drive. If you are trying transfer a complete system drive including the OS like Windows with all the functionality then you will likely need a program like Acronis True Image to make a current system image and then transfer it onto the new drive - this is not always as easy as it sounds and you may need to consult with an expert - hopefully you have a friend who is one. If you just want to transfer pics, videos and documents and you can install both drives on the same system and you know where they are on the drive then it is easy, as easy as copying them over. I would really advise finding someone who had done this before, hopefully more than once, and can help you but it is 99% sure you can depending . . .

It creates an image of the drive you are copying from. It can not transfer just the OS.

Yes, but not with the software since it is only for cloning an hdd. When you connect the drive to your pc with the cable provided you can easily access all the info or wipe it

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

This device allows you to connect that old drive to your new PC just like connecting an external hard drive. This device provides power to the drive and has an adapter ago you can connect it via USB. Step 1. Power up your new PC. Step 2. Connect power supply and USB adapter to old drive. Step 3. Place old drive on flat surface, don't move it around. Step 4. Connect USB adapter to your new PC. Step 5. Access your old drive and copy/paste data off of it. Step 6. There is no step 6. Throw your old drive away, I guess.

Unfortunately it does not come with a transfer cable. It does come with a transfer software though.

IF I had to this, I would transfer the info from the external drive to the old computer and then use Laplink to move the data to the new computer. You can drag & drop files from the drive with explorer. However you cannot transfer programs. Good luck

You should be able to download and use the free software "Seagate DiscWizard" from the Seagate website. I know you can usually clone data from a current hard drive to a new hard drive as long as the new hard drive is larger than the current hard drive.

NO. It doesn't do anything to the existing drive. It only images (copies) the contents of the old drive to a new drive (that you have to purchase seperately). Zvika

You need to plug them both in to your computer. Then use either explorer or finder to transfer the data. I recommend you copy the files and then paste them to the other hard drive. once they have been copied delete the originals.

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).

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.
