CLONE HARD DRIVE TO SSD DRIVE HOW TO

When the process is complete, make sure the amount of space being used is the same on both drives to make sure you have everything. Copy and Paste all the files from the hard drive to the SSD. Format it and give it the drive letter the HDD previously had. Great, I have an adapter but I’ll need a clarification in that my only mode of dealing with the M圜loud drive has been to view its contents and direct Acronis to write my backups. Do not open or modify a single file on the HDD from now on.

Profit? (It may be necessary to run an fsck on all the partitions on the ssd if the M圜loud just couldn’t help itself but to write on its volume while dd did its thing.).

When it completes, down the M圜loud, and attempt the disk swap.I would suggest that if this is the case, return the 2.5' SSD and get a M.2 NVMe SSD then your data would not need to be migrated it would simply be a second drive in the system. Be patient, it is transferring in 4kb nibbles (or if you know the nand-erase size of your SSD, use that.) BUT, if what you have is a 2.5' SSD then you wont be able to migrate since the LT only supports one 2.5' drive.

dd just does not give feedback on its progress.

Use dd to copy the internal disk (SDA) to the USB attached SSD (SDB) eg:.

Use the console to unmount the volume if the automounter mounted it. Here is how to clone a hard drive in Windows.Attach your SSD to a SATA->USB adapter and connect it to the mycloud.

We want the disk to be as quiescent as possible. (this also turns off the thumbnail image generator/scanner, which scribbles on the disk constantly.) If you have the patience, here is what I would do:
