Review on πŸ’Ύ Corsair SSD and HDD Cloning Kit - CSSD-UPGRADEKIT - 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive and Hard Disk Drive by Sam Thorpe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simple, simple, simple.

Worked well for me, very easy to use. I have a 1TB hard drive with over 300GB of data on it. I moved my photos, videos, documents and download directory to a separate storage device because the SSD I was trying to install was only 240GB. After that, I inserted the CD that Corsair provided, connected my new SSD with the cable that came with it, and followed the on-screen instructions. The whole process was basically "click, sit and wait". Now my original hard drive was partitioned into four partitions and Corsair set up my new SSD the same way. It was only natural that one of my partitions was larger than the storage capacity of the SSD, but Corsair simply allocated all the remaining space I had to that partition. He then removed the old hard drive and installed a new SSD. I turned on the computer and after a while everything worked. I have Win 10 and all my programs are installed on the new SSD. I wanted to use the old hard drive as a second drive just for storing files. This required a bit of research on how to delete partitions, format the old drive, and remount the disk as my storage-only D drive. This is a Windows thing and has nothing to do with Corsair. All in all I don't have a single complaint.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
