I bought this SSD directly from Amazon. There is no statement! Addendum seen 22:02 .: Exactly, you can download at Amazon in sales!) Now the product: The SSD comes with a CD, which will enable a clone a built already in the system HDD (Magician). The program must first be installed on this disk. Subsequently to be connected via a SATA / USB adapter to a USB port on the computer to perform cloning the SSD. THE CABLE IS NOT AT! - Audacity, I think. In my distress I have the SSD then inserted into the housing of an external USB drive and then connected to the PC. The drive is not recognized! Although the "Magician" program indicates that the SSD is available, but it would find no partitions. On the packaging, however, is that SSD is "activated", so really should be a partition on it !? Cloning therefore not so. SOLUTION: Use the Control Panel / Administrative ....... the SSD has been displayed, so that I could set up a partition with a drive letter. (It was before actually no partition on it). After that, the SSD has been recognized (in USB enclosure) from Windows Explorer! However, that has not changed the capabilities of the Magicians. The program is therefore not suitable for cloning. To target but then led the clones on the Acronis True Image program, which the total installed disk with all - and only with everyone! - Partitions on the via USB connected SSD performs. Since all partitions are transferred, the SSD must be at least as large as the HDD, which is to clone! The subsequent installation in the PC was then easily, and the computer has thus become much faster (boot time previously about 2: 30min, now approx 1min). Now detects the SSD Magician also completely and allows some settings on the computer to change, which are useful for the operation of an SSD. For 10-year guarantee: That sounds a very nice but is in the conditions that these inter alia applies only if the specified read / write operations are not reached in the case of warranty! Whether that's the case after 9 years 11 months, remained to be seen :-)
My conclusion: Those who do not Acronis True Image or another program to clone and these SATA / USB adapter or an external USB Sata housing also does not call his own, is in a fix - unless you do not want cloning and the system eh newly set up! Then it should go only through the Control Panel / Administrative ...... Since the plate but when it is finally installed, so far is going well, I give 3 stars for the overall picture.
