Cloning from SATA interface to NVMe

Article ID: 111102 Print
Question
Can I move data from an HDD or SATA SSD to a Samsung NVMe™ M.2 SSD?

Answer

Yes. It is possible to clone a SATA HDD or SATA SSD to an NVMe™ SSD. Samsung, however, recommends performing a “clean install” of the OS and later transferring the desired non-executable files.

Because the registry information needed for NVMe™ SSDs is different from those of SATA HDDs or SSDs, a clean install helps to avoid unnecessary compatibility and performance issues that may arise from simply cloning a storage device.
