    taking data off onboard mSata SSD


    Selling my Dell XPS. I removed my D drive which contained most of my data but the OS is on an onboard SSD, looks like its a 256GB mSATA. How do I reformat that drive, can it be done in the BIOS?

    mSATA SSD

    Hi everyone,



    I was wondering if anyone had used a mSATA to 1.8'' adapter, something like this:



    Addonics Product: mSATA SSD 1.8" micro SATA adapter



    , I'm just asking because mSATA SSD's are quite cheaper than 1.8'', and I'd like to buy one of these for my booklet.



    Thanks in advance,

    Regards

    Need some advice on an mSATA SSD swap


    @EdTittel, You are welcome.
    Since you did not have the USB interface for mSata. You can make a backup copy of the 500GB to a regular external USB HD then:
    1. Replace the 500GB with the 250GB.
    2. Boot up Macrium rescue disk, select the image to restore and 250GB as destination
    3. Do steps 3-8 above
