Samsung Laptop R580 Ssd Cloning

Glad I bought this SSD instead of a new laptop. Samsung cloning software worked beautifully. What a performance upgrade!

I have cloned drives from Crucial and Samsung. Samsung comes with the best cloning software. I put the new Samsung 850 PRO into a slot on my Desktop, initiated the clone from a suspected under performing Crucial SSD. The Cloning failed due to a bad sector on the Crucial SSD. The Samsung cloning software walked me thorough the correcting steps. All I had to do was click 'YES' as it took me 'by the hand' through the fix. The cloning software re-booted and again the cloning was initiated. Around 1 hour afterwards, the cloning complete, I disconnected the Cruicial. The Samsung 850 PRO has been working flawlessly for the week. I'm sold!!!!!!

HDD's are the slowest peripherals in the PC today, plus use a lot of power, which is the bane of laptops. I'm on my fourth Samsung SSD now and will be going for number five. The task is getting the OS cloned to the new SSD. Samsung's. Their software works OK but has some limitations, it only works one way, you can't clone back to the HD. Also it will only clone the boot drive in the PC you are cloning with. My laptop only holds one HDD so I wound up buying one of those stand-alone cloning devices. That worked but it took hours!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very well built laptop with great selection of ports and a good screen. Great performance. I had an external enclosure for the 2280 ssd format so I cloned the built in ssd to a larger one with great success. Switching the 2 ssd's was really easy and the laptop booted up immediately. The original, smaller ssd became a backup unit for imagings. No big difference in performance, but the extra storage space allowed me to load up my library of high quality music flac's for entertainment while travelling. If this laptop had a microsd slot, I would have used that for music. I was pretty familiar with the whole cloning process and took proper precautions with grounding of my body to avoid static damage. Aomei Backupper software provided very effective cloning. I use it for backing up the laptop to an external ssd. The enclosures for 2280 ssds have gotten much cheaper and much more reliable.

b&h does a great job delivering it on time and in a well protected packaging. 2tb 970 evo plus nvme m.2 is great product as well. brought additional speed in my laptop. I installed it as an internal ssd drive replacing the original 512 gb ssd in my laptop. i used the usb xcellon enclosure as an auxillary for the cloning. cloning is the part that gave a little hussle, how i wish samsung updated their data migration software allowing cloning thru usb. i researched on internet even the intel data migration software won't allow usb cloning, somehow microsoft way of protecting abuse use or dupplicating coppies of the o.s bought a software for cloning but it wont work as well with direct cloning with usb. after several trials with diffrent ways, i made a boothtable usb drive, removed the installed original ssd and place it in usb enclosure and installed 2tb 970 evo plus nvme m2 in my laptop. then do the cloning. it works ! afte 18 hours of trying to figure out ways to clone :-) overall i give 5 star i love it !

Used it to clone the drive in my laptop to the SSD drive I bought for a replacement. Should have bought 2 because my cloning software was on a different computer. Had to get another adapter locally to plug both drives into my desktop USB for easy cloning. Plug it into the 2.5 drive and it functions as an external USB drive.

Replaced old HDD with this SSD and ten year old Lenovo Thinkpad T510 now lightning fast laptop computer. Easy install after reviewing tutorial video on Crucial site. I used an optical drive caddy for cloning, and simply replaced internal HDD with SSD after cloning complete. Plan on purchasing another one for drive caddy for storage. I also installed new Crucial memory. Highly recommend for increasing speed on old laptop.

I used this to clone my original 1TB mechanical hard drive to a new 1TB SSD. The cloning went flawlessly and the laptop performs much faster with the SSD.

I cloned my 500mg SSD boot drive to this 1tb m.2 drive with Samsung cloning software. All went smoothly and now everything loads much faster. A very worthwhile upgrade.

made cloning the ssd drive easy as pie
