Which is the right option to clone ssd?

Post by TDC999 »

Hi everyone,

I cloned yesterday my old ssd (appr. 476 GB) to a new one (Samsung Evo 850 ca. 465 GB). I remember i had some problems getting it going but when i deleted the last partition (was empty anyway) it worked. But when i checked today in diskpart the offset of the disk was 1413 KB which is not good :shock: So can i fix this somehow or should i (with that i mean is it better to) clone again? And if i clone again which is the right setting "Scale to fit" or the other. Which settings are important to make it work this time?

Greetings!

you'd enable align on 1mib, and the option to align to target and/or remove
gaps.

Thanks for that answer.

I would have a question back. The setting "remove gaps" is this save to make the default setting for cloning ssd to ssd (assuming windows machines) or should i better leave this alone? I am asking because windows sometimes leaves 8 MB of unallocated Space between partitions which are there in case one converts the disk to dynamic disk...
