4.0 out of 5 starsGreat the second time around...
By M. Jenson on March 31, 2011
Size: USB 2.0Color: White Verified Purchase
I have mixed feelings on this device/software. Let me start from the beginning... I purchased this kit along with a Western Digital 500 GB Scorpio Black internal laptop hard drive (WD5000BEKT). My situation was one where my laptop hard drive needed to be replaced because it was nearing capacity and was getting along in age. For your reference, my laptop is a Dell Inspiron e1705 with a Hitachi 60GB hard drive, the original from Dell. I liked the idea of being able to clone my OS and all my data from the old drive onto the new Western Digital hard drive hassle* free.

So after receiving my loot from Amazon, I started the process of cloning the old HD over to the new HD. Included with the SATA cable was the cloning software: EZGig III. Apricorn recommends running their software from Windows. I too, recommend trying this way first. It is possible to boot from a user created ISO file from Apricorn, but this isn't necessary if your operating system is behaving normally. So I unboxed the new hard drive, plugged it in and ran the software. Very simple interface and easy to use... pick your source drive (old drive), pick the destination drive (new drive) and...

-= STOP =-

BEFORE you start the auto-clone process, be sure to click into the advanced settings and manually adjust the partitions to your liking. My Dell had four partitions setup on the original Hitachi HD and EZGigIII was going to clone them as is. In fact, the first time around it did clone the old drive perfectly, but it also cloned the partitions as is and made my new precious Scorpio Black 500gb HD the same size as my old HD. It did not allocate the new space to the primary partition, it left it unallocated.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsSend in the clones!
By Amazon Customer on October 29, 2011
Size: USB 2.0Color: White Verified Purchase
Length: 9:53 Mins
I just cloned and replaced a slow 500 GB laptop hard drive with a lightning-fast Crucial m4 256 GB solid state hard drive (SSD). I've never done this before and it worked great the first time, no sweat. The setup was a no-brainer. A few button clicks and the cloning process starts. It took about an hour for the cloning to complete. Afterwards, I just swapped out the hard drives. Done deal. All my data and programs work perfectly, including the Win 7 64-bit operating system, hidden files, and the full-on Photoshop CS5.

Apricorn even includes the USB/SATA cable with their software bundle. Who knew that this could be so easy?

This just might be the answer for making bulletproof backups, too.

By the way, there is a higher quality You Tube post available that Amazon won't let me link. Search "How to install a SSD into a TimelineX laptop" on You Tube. Beware--the audio kinda sux. I bought a good mike after I shot this.

5.0 out of 5 starsPainless, Simple, & Just Does Everything For You
By Tiger VINE VOICE on August 7, 2012
Size: USB 2.0Color: White Verified Purchase
Length: 9:08 Mins
This makes migrating disk drives painless & simple. It is especially great migrating between unequally sized drives like migrating from a larger HDD to smaller SSD. And it successfully handles a bootable partition with a working operating system like Windows 7. If you bought an SSD that didn't come with a migration kit, I highly recommend this solution.

Migrating is actually a complicated process. Especially when moving from larger to smaller, you have to move data to the front, then shrink the partition, then copy to new drive, make alignment changes if it is SSD, then expand to fit the new drive, and hope the operating system still works (mine didn't). I encourage you to search the web for "migrate hard drive to SSD" and you will find a number of articles and freeware offering guidance, all fairly complicated and different. I liked the SSD Freaks and lifehacker articles best. I tried a long time and ultimately failed to migrate a working Windows 7 partition. You might not realize that migrating to SSD requires different alignment, which isn't fixed by a straight copy. This Apricorn software just does it all for you, painlessly and simply.

In retrospect, the only freeware alternative I think would really work, is a Windows 7 backup & restore, which should reload properly onto the new drive. But if you are like me, it takes 2-4 weeks to get all the programs reinstalled and reconfigured to the same level of productivity on my work laptop with engineering software. But with this, within hours you can simply be up on your new drive, but with everything else the same as before. But if you have a USB 3.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat product
By J. Lawrence Associates on December 4, 2012
Size: USB 2.0Color: White Verified Purchase
Arrived and we found it is exactly as described. However, using the included software (if you are a MAC user) to clone your original drive is not the best way to go if you are also an OSX 10.8.x user and have a fairly recent (within 2 years) imac or macbook pro that you are upgrading. The best way is to hook the drive up using the included cable while still running on your existing drive, format the SSD from the mac Disk Utility software that is part of the mac OS, be sure you format it to be a BOOT DRIVE, (under Options) then install the drive and reboot from the web by way of the command-R internet server startup process (see Apple online help for the procedure BEFORE you install your new SSD). Then you can boot from your newly installed SSD and reinstall all your software on the new drive manually. It will add half an hour to the process (the software will install on an SSD like lightning) but you will have a CLEAN install and everything will work the way it should in the long run saving you a LOT of time downstream chasing issues, such as Adobe Creative Suite products, and MSOffice products, that mysteriously won't run correctly on a cloned drive. Any other process, such as cloning your drive onto the new SSD, has serious risks that it will not function correctly for long. We have done 6 office systems in-house, and we have learned the hard way, that a CLEAN install as I have described above, is the only way to go. All of our clean installs went smoothly and we have not had a single problem with them.
