Question for Terabyte Support on restoring SSDs
Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2012 12:43 am
Could you tell me how Image For Dos does its restores? I backup my system drive (Plextor 64GB SSD) to a spinner using Image For Windows. I will use IFD to restore the backup to a SSD:
1. Does IFD do an erase before write of the SSD block regardless, or does it check whether an erase is necessary before writing?
2. Does IFD erase the un-restored areas of the SSD to all 1's or leave them as is?
I ask because I want to decide whether to erase the entire SSD to all 1's using HDDErase before doing an IFD restore.
Thanks for any info,
Sky
