Transcend provides a disks management and cloning tool with its Solid State Disks (SSDs).
I originally had a 64GB SSD which I upgraded to 128 GB SSD a couple of years ago. After installing another version of Office I find that I don't have
much space left in my 128GD hdd and from the sound of my speakers (disk wriiting seems to infere with system sound so I can hear otherwise quiet SSD read/write) there is swapfile action going on, and during a time when there was lot of swap filing I had a couple of blue screens of death, so I decided to clone to a bigger 480GB SSD. It happens to be a SANDisk SSD but once again Transcend's software (Transcend SSD Scope 2.6) has done the job well, so far as I can tell.
The only problems using SSD Scope is that
1) It does not initially tell you what disk you will be cloning to (D, E etc) and just gives you the option of Harddisk1 and Harddisk2 but you can tell which is which when you have selected from the drop down menu shown above, them due to differences in size.
The other slight nigghe was that while I chose the extend drive option. I was told I would be cloning from 128 to
480 and the clone completed fine, and SSD scope gave a button to shut down. I connected the new 480 GB disk to the OS sata cable and removed the 128GB
drive completely.
Windows booted up fine (but asked me to reboot) and the C (OS) drive is only 119GB (the same as when I was using the 128 GB SSD). But I managed to use the Windows 7 disk management tool (run diskmgmt.msc) to expand the C drive, usign right click and expand, and now I have a 480 GB solid state C disk.
I was suprised to find that, while the other disk management tools are unavailable, Transcend's SSD Scope is still offering me the option to clone my SANDisk disk. Generous. I may purchase yet another 480GB SSD (and this time a Transcend one!) as a back up clone.
The computer seems to be okay now. But then, after setting a custtom pagefile size, the computer would not reboot (it wanted to book from CD). Fortunately I was able to select the C drive as the boot drive. But for some reason after setting the pagefile size (I am not sure if that had anything to do with it or not) my C drive is not thought to be the boot drive. I had to update the BIOS to get my new drive to be set as the boot drive.
I have also created a pagefile on the old 64GB OS drive ( which is now just a data drive) for good measure.
an exploded view of the Intel SSD 910 Series. The bottom layer is the controller board, while the top two boards hold the NAND. The Intel SSD 910 Series includes Intel High Endurance Technology (HET) and optimized multi-level cell (MLC) 25-nanometer NAND flash memory, that allows up to 10 full drives writes a day for five years, or a 30x endurance improvement** over its standard MLC-based flash products. It uses an Intel controller and Intel SSD management firmware enhanced for less NAND wear, NAND error reduction and system error management, making the Intel SSD 910 a storage solution that provides data center storage longevity and cost-effectiveness
