QUOTE(smallcrab @ Mar 7 2015, 02:59 AM) Just managed to clone my multi partition HDD tp SSD (have issues from the last thread https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2874570/+2540)Found Drive Clone 11 (Farstone) , free for personal use. Excellent! So far this the only software i know that can clone multi partitions and auto resize it. Damn easy to use. http://www.farstone.com/software/drive-clone.phpI don't have to reinstall all my licensed program again. Ok. my SSD upgrade review. So far, the boot up time of Win 7 Pro is much quicker (now only took 30% loading time vs my old HDD, and programs load up faster as well on my Transcend370 256GB SSD. Money well spent ! This is after all budget class SSD. Bro.. Did the farstone software ask for the OS lisense key? I am asking because i cant remember mine!

QUOTE(smallcrab @ Mar 23 2015, 12:05 AM) Farstone was free for personal use. Or you mean license key for other software that was cloned? Only 1 proprietary software required re-enter (non Microsoft), others no need. Haha.. My meaning is the previous Windows OS key. No need to re typed again right? So till now happy with the performamce?

QUOTE(smallcrab @ Mar 23 2015, 12:44 AM) windows OS /MS office key no need. Performance good enough for me, OS loading startup / resume time obviously fast. Hmm.. Only during startup and resume. Can feel significantly faster on browsing? Doing Microsoft office stuff?

QUOTE(Human10 @ Mar 23 2015, 09:44 AM) Running and loading of programs also will be faster. In short, your PC feel more responsive. As for your question on upgrade on your vista lappy, yeah it should work. But I bet your lappy is SATA2 (or older perharps), so the speed will be capped accordingly. But economical and convenience sake, just go out and grab SATA3 HDD. Will I feel the difference using SATA3 HDD? I will Youtube out these in these few days..

QUOTE(horns @ Mar 9 2015, 10:46 PM) yes. just checked your mobo manual (i took a look at h71m-dgs; couldn't find h71-dgs at asrock website), the mobo has only sata2 ports. there is no sata3 ports. from your diskmark test, your ssd is actually running at full sata2 speed. that's nothing wrong with it. How to look st the test speed? The first row result is the most important?
