    Samsung Magician is amazing. Cloning from a 256g WD to a Samsung 980 Pro took 17:50. Samsung Magician estimated 30 minutes to complete the job, but it took just over half that amount of time. Cloning is super simple and takes almost no time at all.
    I used an SSK M.2 NVME/SATA SSD Enclosure to house the new drive during cloning and plugged it into a lightning port, ran through the format process for the new drive, opened Samsung Magician and a couple clicks later it was running. It's literally that simple. No extra software to do the job 100%.
    I stored the original 256G NVME drive in the enclosure in case of future emergency. I couldn't be more satisfied.

    Question about Disk management steps... When you entered disk management after the SSD install, a window pops up giving you options for Partition Style, MBR (Master Boot record) or GPT (GUID Partition Table)... You skipped talking about this but I noticed that you had MBR selected. Is MBR the correct choice for adding a second storage volume SSD? I have the Samsung 870 QVO 4TB to install for this purpose...Thank you for any clarification.

    • @UltimateTechHub
      @UltimateTechHub  Рік тому +1

      Either one works well. GPT allows for unlimited partitions. MBR is good for smaller SSDs under 2tb. I use both formats. In this video I uses MBR but I also use GPT.

    QUESTION: I tried two times using Macrium Reflect with the "Clone." Macrium Reflect claimed to have done a "Successful" clone each time. However, the HP laptop would NOT boot from the clone either time. But when I used the Samsung Cloning software, it worked 100% fine. Do you have any idea what made the Samsung work properly while the Macrium Reflect did not?

      Samsung Data Migration software is the best cloning software I've ever used. I've never had a failure using it. Other cloning software can be hit or miss. Macrium Reflect is pretty good software. Not sure why it didn't work.

I attempted to make changes to BIOS after cloning with Macrium two times, but nothing I did in BIOS could get the HP laptop to acknowledge the existence of the SSD to boot from. But when I used the Samsung Data Migration, I didn't need to use BIOS at all. Everything worked fine.
