Made perfect copies of the hard drives (including partitions)

I've cloned traditional hard drives with the spinning platters, 2.5 SSD drives, and just recently a mSata drive using a mSata to Sata adapter

When the Apricorn Sata wire and software arrived, I plugged the new drive into the USB port with the cable, popped the CD in, clicked Run, went for a bike ride, came back, swapped hard drives, restarted the machine

Once it was done, I turned off my laptop, and swapped the hard drives, and everything works perfectly!!

(This set me back a couple hours while I used Gparted (a free, graphical partitioning tool) to remove the partitions from the new hard drive and start over.)In EZGig, be sure to MANUALLY ADJUST the PRIMARY PARTITION to use all the new (unallocated) space on your new hard drive.

so you need to keep it in an static safe bag while working with it to protect the drive.

With an SSD I could format the drive from windows after the included software corrupted the the new drive and corrupted the existing dive in the system to the point I could not repair it and had to format everything and reinstall windows.
