You can make an image using Win or use third party software like Acronis, Ghost or the like. Type Backup in the search box then on the left you can choose to do a system image. You can use DVDs or another hard drive. |

| 1156770 | 2010-11-29 23:57:00 | I dont recommend image restore, the SSD will need an install to align it correctly..... Storage system performance is dependent on many factors, one of which is a properly aligned partitioning scheme. Misaligned partitions cause a significant reduction in the I/O performance of a disk drive through redundant read/write operations and a subsequent reduction in an SSD lifespan by as much as one-third. The introduction of 4K sectors in the latest disk drives creates even more alignment problems for a large proportion of IT administrators. Implementation of enterprise virtual environments and the use of different RAID technologies are also susceptible to misalignment. In most cases, a mismatch between actual physical and logical representations of data causes a significant decay in overall system performance and hardware longevity. You will also need to ensure BIOS settings for Trim to work........ www.anandtech.com |
