I knew the ssd "by chance" with hard drive problems on a computer mini tower desktop, 3/4 years old,
equipped with a microprocessor i3 first generation.
I put a Samsung 120GB, re installed windows7 ... and suddenly, I do not repurchased desktop computer!
so I could not stand the "slowness" of my laptop, HDD 750 GB 5400 towers leaning on a ... i7 Ivy Bridge and graphics card with 2GB dedicated. This is not a frankly slow config, but it is demanding!
then, yes, of course, the element of surprise plays less, but no question of going back!
Side installation:
I have a dock where senchâsser 2 Hard drives can I connect my laptop with a USB port (USB 3.0 in this case). that is why I did not take the Samsung kit with cables ...
There in that box, the SSD and CD with software.
I installed Samsung Data Migration software on the laptop.
I only have a precise score to transfer, with software and My Documents, which I had saved. Of course, all was less than 256 go, about a hundred gigabytes.
My partiton D :, I did not use.
I'm not a pro hack, so I played my simple.
Ben following the instructions, the transfer was carried out correctly.
How soon? As seen above, I do not have a slow configuration, it still took in 50 minutes.
When I replaced my dd ssd cloned by this, everything worked perfectly, without any settings, as if nothing except changing speed, of course.
Accuracy: there is no partition Factory Restore on the SSD, factory partition that I always start on your HD (I read somewhere that normal c)
and not my partiton D :. But I did not do anything to preserve that.
If I understand correctly, it is the other software, Magician ... something that can manage scores after the fact, but I do not use it, so I have not used this software.
Yes, the ease of use of large files is disproportionate.
