You can download Ease US ToDo to clone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sandisk / WD provide free software (Acronis True Image WD Edition) that you can download for your new SSD.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No it does not.But sandisk has a link within the SSD dashboard software to get the cloning software inexspensivly.Check out NTI Echo software at nticorp.com.Very inexpensive cloning software.It has worked great for Me,I have done about 5 or 6 clones now with no problems.Good luck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It does not come with cloning software. If you buy a Samsung SSD it will include the cloning software.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No it comes with no cloning software but there are options to purchase all kinds of software out there to perform that task.. I suggest you lookup some youtube videos. You can also consider a Samsung EVO in the future.....they do come with simple software. Also, if your existing drive is larger than the new ssd, again you best find some videos on the subject because it can be tricky. Or....just install the new drive and reload the os fresh, then be done with it. There are few free options like Clonezilla, but that may be complicated for the average nontechnical person.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No it does not come with a cloning software. Macrium has a free cloning software you can "try out" for free. It's good for a certain amount of time before you are asked to buy it; enough for you to clone your hard drive. It is downloadable from CNET for free.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, you can get a free one here: http://www.easeus.com/disk-copy for PC For Mac you can use Disk Utility (already on the Mac OS) or Carbon Copy
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've been using the Apricorn ASW-USB3-25 Cloning Kit (BestBuy SKU 3459621) to clone SSD's to and from HDD's with very little difficulty. It's available for less than $25. Just boot your Windows PC from the Apricorn DVD and follow the instructions. It will copy Windows, Linux, or whatever is on your HDD as long as the amount of data being transferred is smaller than the capacity of the SSD. It will also clone SSD to SSD and HDD to HDD if you need to do so. My PC has a "hot-swap" shelf so I can plug in any drive that I want to clone or use. If cloning, I simply boot from the DVD , connect the Apricorn cable to a USB port and to the "new" drive, and I'm on my way!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. I had Geek Squad clone mine because I already had a computer plan with them and did not have the cloning software. I looked at purchasing the software and was looking at $150 plus. I did not shop for the software since I already had the Geek Squad plan. Why pay even $50 for the software when I have already purchased the Best Buy computer plan.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, ezgig is included, but does not work with Mac.
