A simple notebook cloning kit we have put together. Add this to one of our SSDs and you have an amazingly SSD cloning kit!
Cable is PC and Apple compatible.
Cable can be used on some 2.5 inch mechanical hard drives, but that is not what it has been designed for. The cable draws enough power to run an SSD, but not all standard mechanical hard drives. It will not work on a 3.5 inch hard drive, you will require an external case that has it's own power supply.
To clone your drive to an SSD, the process is the same for a PC or a Mac. Plug SATA connection to new SSD and the other end goes into the USB of your computer. Initialise the SSD. Open clone software and clone from old drive to new SSD. After clone has finished replace the hard drive with the newly cloned SSD.
We no longer include software in our clone kits. Crucial have changed the Acronis software they use, you must have a Crucial SSD to use the new Acronis for Crucial software that comes with the Crucial SSD.
For Macs we recommend SuperDuper! cloning software, it is a free download, you do not need the paid version.
For PC we recommend Acronis that comes with the Crucial SSD. However if you are using a different brand of SSD then use Macrium Reflect Free edition. We did recommend the 30 day trial version, but the free version for single use cloning is excellent, and the software is still useable after 30 days.
The kit has includes these tools:
Phillips #00 (green)
Torx T6 (red)
Torx T8 (black)
Straight Blade 1.8mm (blue)
Nylon Pry Tool aka Spudger *
* The spludger wears out with use, so it is not covered by the 1 year warranty. It is only good for a few uses.
