Hi,
Currently I am using a regular 500 GB SATA 7200 rpm HDD as a boot drive.
I clone that HDD using Acronis software so that I always have an exact copy of that drive in case boot drive runs into a problem.
But I am getting a new PC with 512 GB PCIe NVMe SSD as a boot drive.
My question is can I clone this new HDD on a regular 500 GB SATA drive ? They have different volumes. One is 512 GB & other is 500 GB.
If yes, then if new 512 GB PCIe NVMe SSD crashes, can I use the 500 GB SATA HDD to clone it back on to 512 GB NVMe drive ?
If not what other choices do I have ?
Reinstalling Windows & settings & programs takes a lot of time so I have been using clonning HDDs as a very easy solution.
Thank You
