Would this be an issue migrating over or just something that may slow down the Read/Write speeds? If it does I'm not sweating it I just want a OS on a SSD and don't care about all the frills.Īlso should I disconnect the other HHDs (I have 3 one for C: the other two for storage) in order to migrate over or will it do it thru the 3.Thanks for you posting. One question my present OS (Win7圆4HmPrem) is set up on RAIDX (an HP thing) that swears in all the info I can find about it that it is also ACHI compatible it lists itself as RAIDX/AHCI or some sort of clone of the two. Now that's what I'mma talkin' about.easy peasy.thanks I am trying to do the same thing with a 830 120gb SSD. () Adjust page file size and power settings to what I really want. () Uninstall Magician, Uninstall Migration

() Run Magician software to make sure latest firmware, performance test, optimize, etc. () Reboot after swap SSD into primary position.

() Install Samsung Magician and Migration Migrated two windows 7 laptops to 240GB 840 EVOs yesterday. When done, I had a normal looking boot drive with System Reserved 68% free next to a vanilla C: partition. Not wanting to screw around with guesswork solutions, I hooked the original drive back up and used a Macrium Reflect Windows PE boot disk on USB and reimaged the SSD. In Disk Management, I saw that the Samsung software had not only filled out System Reserved partition to about 95%, but it also gave it drive letter F and called it "Data", and C: was G. There are all kinds of proposed fixes, not all of which work. After Googling around, I learned that if that 100MB System Reserved partition gets too full, the drive can't image itself. Not the target drive, but the source drive. The Windows imaging utility complained that there was not enough free space on the drive to make a shadow copy. Until I went to make an image of the drive using Windows. The clone ran without incident and in few minutes I had a peppy new PC and all appeared to be well. I attached the SSD and used Samsung Data Migration to clone the drive.

After feeding it all the drivers and updates it wanted, I had the fresh hardware running on the original install of Windows 7.
I had replaced motherboard, RAM, and CPU, and Windows 7 rebooted OK on the existing hardrive, sans drivers. I went ahead and used Samsung's tool to clone my spinner to a new 840 Evo. You should use the latter, but don't run the OS optimization stuff. If you have TRIM enabled, you can just leave it as free space, but without TRIM you'll want to actually overprovision the drive leaving 10-20% unpartitioned.Įdit: also, the Samsung Migration tool and Samsung Magician are two different things. Stuff like RAISE on Sandforce drives or other drives that use a NAND die for error correction still typically need overprovisioning to account for blockmap size and leaving LBAs open for internal garbage collection. In which case using this tool would be wasting 10% of your disk.
Please remember that some disks now have this over-provisioning built in.

If you don't overprovision it can shorten the life of the drive (likely not really measurable) but as the drive gets close to being full write performance will start to heavily degrade. It chops 10% off the disk size (the tool does something special with the partition table, marking the space as raw) that the drive uses internally for load balancing and moving sectors around.
