Hi everyone, I'm looking to upgrade my SSD to a bigger capacity one as the current 128gb one I have is running out of space... Any gurus know how to transfer everything from my old SSD to a new one? Or I should just save the hassle and buy a Samsung SSD which comes with data migration software?

clone.

software like Acronis or Norton Ghost will do the job perfectly.

You can get aither crucial which comes with acronis or samsung in which u can use data mitigation. IIRC, transcend comes with its own software also. Not too sure for zotac.

But it is always recommended to do a fresh installation as the old ssd may have issues and u wun want to bring it forward to new ssd.
