    Clone SSD Fail


    Purchased a NVMe SSD to replace a 2.5 SSD that my OS is currently on. Cloned it using Samsung Data Migration software after creating a partition, and changed boot priority to the NVMe in BIOS. The target drive NVMe is now not showing up under This PC folder. Looked in Device Management and I have an error on Disk 0 NVMe in the events tab. Device not migrated.Device SCSI\Disk&Ven_NVMe&Prod_Samsung_SSD_980\5&134334ae&0&000000 was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match. Last Device Instance Id: SCSI\Disk&Ven_Samsung&Prod_SSD_850_EVO_250G\4&32cfc428

    Moving to SSD. Clone or not to clone?

    I kinda agree with you, but on a wholr, do not. While I have done things a bit differently than this specific situation, by installing Windows directly to the SSD, and cloning after, my testing shows that there are no issues doing this, very little that can go wrong, provided your system is stable.

    There are certain features that must be disabled in this situation, like auto defrag and such, but even with a fresh install to the SSD, you need to take steps to ensure that you SSD performs properly, regardless of how the data got there.

    Arming yourself with a bit of knowledge can go a long way.

    Installing the latest chipset driver, and the RST Tools, will ensure optimal performance of the SSD. but rather than taking my advice, I suggest the OP takes a look here:

    Keep in mind, also, Digibucc, that many retail drives include software and such that very specifically is to be used to ttranser the OS from an existing mechanical drive to an SSD, and if there really was alot fo issues stemming from the cloning process, they would not have packages like that, simply to eliminate tech support costs. While not the optimal option, cloning is NOT a bad thing, as long as you take the nessecary steps.
