Pros: I used the Apricorn USB 3.0 to SATA adapter along with the bundled software to clone the factory-installed Seagate Momentus XT 500GB hybrid drive of my Clevo P150HM to an external Crucial M4 512GB SSD w/o issue. In my opinion this item is well worth purchasing. I was swayed to make a purchase by a nice rebate. The process worked, even though USB 2.0 connection provides less power and is much slower. I then copied another 60 GB off my laptops drive to new SSD over USB 2.0 connection. I plugged the SSD to my desktop and copied about 50 GB data off OS drive to new SSD. Overall Review: - The cable appears sturdy and well made. The software will work off executable.Ĭons: - Its guaranteed for SSDs only due to the power limitations of USB ports. Newest version of cloning software can be downloaded from Apricorn website. HD can be clone while your computer is on. I had to restart once (partition resizing) but I am now using all my old programs without any problems.Pros: - Clone existing HD containing OS or data to a SSD over USB. Once complete, I simply swapped the old SSD out for the new one and booted straight into Windows. I was able to continue using my laptop while this went on. The entire process (to clone ~65GB of OS and installed apps) took less than 35 minutes. The partition resizing was an option in EZGIG so I let that take care of it for me. After plugging the new disk into the chassis and downloading Apricorn's EZGIG cloning software I was able to set up and execute a disk clone with (literally) 3 clicks. I purchased the kit along with a Crucial M4 256GB SSD. I looked around for something that would clone the incumbent disk - so avoiding having to reinstall an OS and all my installed programs - and found this Apricorn upgrade kit. Overall Review: I needed to upgrade my laptop's 128 SSD to something bigger for all my installed apps and files.
