Why Need to Transfer System Drive to SSD?

Solid-state drive (SSD), also called a flash drive, is a type of hard drive. A SSD has a special kind of memory chip with erasable, writable cells that can hold data even when powered off. SSD has many advantages. It’s faster than traditional drive. The SSD is durable, it is not likely to be damaged even it is dropped or banged. So it is safer than traditional drive.

In these situations, people need to transfer the current system drive to Solid-State Disk. For instance, transfer Windows to larger or smaller storage devices in a single operation; to support any Windows since XP; Transfer a 64-bit Windows configured to the UEFI-based boot mode; automatically aligns partitions on the destination disk if necessary, or automatically detects and copies MSR for successful migrations of Windows 7. By transferring, it allows the user to exclude data during the process in order to fit the destination disk. Guarantee security for the system and data, etc.
