Copying non-OS HDD to SSD
I intend to clone my non-OS internal HDD to an external SSD via USB and then remove the internal HDD and install the SSD internally. I would like it if you all would verify/critique/review my process to see if I am doing this appropriately. Any input is appreciated.
New Samsung 850 EVO 500k will be attached via USB 3.0 front panel connector with SATA III hard drive adapter cable.
Macrium Reflect will be used to copy all data/program files over from the internal HDD to the external SSD.
I then intend to remove the internal HDD and install the SSD internally. I will then be running 1 x 250g and 1 x 500G 850 EVO SSD's. One for the OS + games , and one for data/program files. I do not intend to run these in a RAID.
I then will wipe the new de-installed HDD and either give it to a friend or sell it.
Any issues I might not be anticipating?
