Heaps of thank you mate..very helpful...keep it up good content no bs
Thanks mate, glad it helped. I keep getting asked so thought I would just make the answer a video 😀
Samsung has all my loyalty
In other cloning software we nee to initialize the ssd first. I but i see that nobody does that with samsung magician. Isn't it necessary ? Please I need help and don't know if I have to initianalize it first.
I bought the WD SSD. Hopefully, their software will work.
yes, it comes with acronis which is one of the best disk clones available, I have used it on WD many times and its always been great. If you get stuck give me a shout
@@mashextra Well, guess what? I followed the directions with the enclosure and formatted the SSD. Then when I tried to use Acronis, the software wouldn't recognize the SSD. So, it wouldn't work. I don't imagine there's any way to reverse the format? I'll probably have to buy some software. Seems like everyone has their fingers in your wallet these days.
How do you clone a (d) drive used for games? Not the os c drive.
Edit nm got it. You format the new drive, name it E, copy and paste all files from D to E, shutdown, remove D drive, put new E drive in, then rename to D. Done
haha was just about to write that :)
Bought a new prebuilt a few days ago and spent those days installing apps, perfecting settings etc. Decided I wanted to replace the low end Kingston that came with it, with a new 990 Pro. So I used Samsung Magician to clone the drive (installed the 990 firmware first). Everything appeared to work great I was thrilled at how easy it was. I removed the Kingston, put the 990 in it's place and the pc booted up perfectly, with the 990 (obviously) showing as the C drive. To me everything was perfect and exactly the same. But out of nowhere, Windows explorer will begin to not load the Desktop folder, Downloads folder, it won't even show 'This PC'...it says "Working on it". Sometimes before it refuses to show anything at all the files that are there have no thumbnails just basic outlines of a stock file. If I reboot everything is back to normal. But the issue eventually returns. The files are there, if I open a media player I can play them, but sometimes when this is happening the thumbnails don't even show in the media player. The whole thing is bizarre, it's one of those issues that is extremely hard to troubleshoot because nothing comes up when searching the web. Do I have a bad drive? A bad migration? I just don't get it. And I wish I had that enclosure you have because it took me a long time to complete this entire process because I had to remove multiple components from the desktop since m2 slots can be such a pain to access with the practically impossible to handle tiny screws. I don't even know what to do at this point. Do the entire process over again? Exchange the 990 for a new one and try again? I ran diagnostics on it in Magician and there weren't errors so it's hard to believe it's a bad drive. I'm ready to put the crappy Kingston back in.
and did you update the drive firmware in magician software? can you put the SSD in a different m.2 slot to test? I have used the clone tool probably 50 times and so far never had an issue
I'm willing to clone my os drive on my desktop to a 990 pro and use it on a new/other motherboard. Will this work flawlessly? (new cpu and ram as well)
sadly not always, windows is much better at it these days but you may need to muck around and get a few new drivers for the new board
you said you only have to put the drive in once i dont know to much but when i got the samsung 990 pro i just put my main drive in my second m.2 slot and put the new drive into the first m.2 slot the pc still booted up and i was able to clone my drive and that was it
that is true but then you usually have to open the PC again to remove/replace the original 1tb or did you just keep that as a spare? I usually add 2 4tb SSDs as I need a lot of data which is why I do the clone externally
oh yeah that makes sense if your doing that but yeah I had a 1tb 980 and got the 990 1tb so I just put the 990 in the main slot the 980 in the second m.2 slot booted up cloned and that was it but I did end up taking out the 980 after I cloned it to double check and make sure it cloned it correctly and that it would boot up on the 990 and once it did I put it back in
@@marcus05011993 Just wondering if that was possible. That's what I'll do
if ive just finished cloneing my previous ssd to my new one, how would i go about transferring all my old data from another SATA ssd data to my new ssd?
is the sata drive currently in the computer?
@@mashextra yep it is
it is simply a case of opening a couple of file explorer windows, make yourself a relevant folder structure on the new drive where you want to store the old drives contents (ie pictures, documents, videos etc) or just use the default windows users folders then copy the files from the old drive to the new one. There is no easy way to automate it I am afraid
Please help. So I did the cloning to my 980 pro NVME 2TB but for some reason it show 1tb in use but the other 1tb is unallocated.
What do I do to fix this issue?
That’s really odd, it should have extended the drive for you. You should be able to extend it in disk management. Add me on insta and start a chat if you need help
Bro I scared I will burn my laptop so can you suggest me a nvme for my laptop? i use it as gaming but it not gaming laptop
please let me know the model laptop?
I can not find the Data Migration Program at the link you gave! It is called "Data Migration" software?! :-(
oh wow! looks like they have moved the software into the magician software! I may need to update my video. I will install the new magician software tomorrow when I get in the office
@@mashextra Ahh I see! :-) Thank you for your reply!
