THIS IS THE CLONING KIT YOU NEED!
5 Stars
THIS IS THE CLONING KIT YOU NEED!
This is all you need folks! I was incredibly worried this wouldn't work after reading some negative reviews but all I can say is that for me this worked FLAWLESSLY! Used this to upgrade my desktop gaming pc from and old 1tb 5400rpm physical hard drive to a screaming fast new Crucial 1TB SSD. Needless to say the difference is night and day and couldn't be happier and this kit made it almost too easy. I ran it directly from the disk and just followed the very easy step process. I was back up and running in an hour and a half with no issues. Computer didn't notice the difference when swapping out drives except now everything is crazy fast! I am running windows 10 anniversary edition and this worked with zero problems! So if you were worried about it possibly being a problem with desktop pc's or windows 10 don't. This will work without a hitch with no special adjustments needed.SSD used: Crucial MX300 1TB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IAGSDUE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1Mounting kit used: Sabrent 3.5-Inch to x2 SSD / 2.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive Mounting Kit https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015MSJ1DG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
