Are you looking for Plextor SSD cloning software to transfer all content from old hard disk drive to Plextor SSD? This article will introduce you to great cloning software for Plextor SSD.
“Hello, guys! To speed up my computer, I intend to replace my current boot disk with a Plextor SSD. I’m afraid of reinstalling Windows OS and other applications on the Plextor SSD. I have planned to transfer all data including OS from HDD to SSD via copying and pasting files, but I found that there are too many files. Is there any advice?”
In fact, it is not a good idea to move data to SSD via directly copying and pasting all files. Firstly, as mentioned in Scenario, there are plenty of files, thus the whole process can be time-consuming; secondly, you are unable to boot system normally as some system files are inaccessible after pasted into another disk. Then, do you have to reinstall all programs and Windows operating system?
Don’t worry, this comprehensive and powerful Plextor SSD cloning software – AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional can assist you! With Disk Clone Wizard feature, it supports you to clone your current hard drive to Plextor SSD or other SSDs of different sizes with secure boot. It allows you to clone OS drive only to SSD if the capacity of the target disk is not enough to hold all data on the source disk. What’s more, it can align SSD partitions to improve SSD’s performance during the cloning process.
For compatibility, it can work with Windows 10/8.1/8/7, XP and Vista; if you are a Windows Server user, you can employ AOMEI Partition Assistant Server edition.
To perform hard drive to Plextor SSD copy, connect the SSD to your computer at first; install and run the data migration software for Plextor SSD. Then, do as the following step:
→ You can download the demo version of AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional to have a try.
Step 1. Install and launch AOMEI Partition Assistant, click "Clone" in the main interface and select "Clone Disk".
Step 2. Choose the hard disk that you need to clone as the source disk and click "Next".
Step 3. Select the destination disk to store the data on the source disk, and then click "Next".
Step 4. Then, you can check the source and destination disk in the next window or change to “Sector to Sector clone”, and click the "Confirm" button to continue if there is no problem.
Here, you can also click the "Settings" button to adjust the partition size on the destination disk or tick "4k alignment" to improve the reading and writing speed of SSD if the target disk is an SSD drive.
Step 5. At last, click "Apply" and "Proceed" in the main interface to start cloning the hard drive.
Notes:
Since this process will erase all data on the destination disk, you'd better back up important files on the target disk in advance.
If you want to keep your HDD simultaneously, you need to enter BIOS to change boot order.
If you clone MBR disk to GPT SSD, you should change the system boot mode to UEFI; if you clone GPT disk to MBR SSD, you should change to Legacy boot mode.
Obviously, this Plextor SSD cloning software enables you to clone current HDD to Plextor SSD within few clicks. In fact, it enjoys many other powerful functions as well. For example, it comes along with Partition Recovery Wizard feature, which is able to recover deleted/lost partition on external hard drive, internal hard drive, and so on; its Partition C Wizard makes it possible to clone data partition only to new hard drive.
