    Apricorn SATA Wire Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade Kit with USB 2.0 Connection ASW-USB-25 (White)

    • don't waste your time on this product as it simply does not work -- it will not recognize the new SSD drive and it will not perform the cloning operation it claims
    • Despite my following the accompanying instructions to the letter, this product continually produced unusable clones, wasting my time and giving me a huge headache.
    • That worked perfectly, first time
    • So the cloning process was repeated but this time all was correct.
    • Summing it up, took at least 3 hours or so to get a "good" clone the first time and 5 hours and counting today
    • Second time I tried adjusting some settings and it worked just fine.
    • It was so easy and worked the first time
    • I had a bit more trouble this time
    • The second time around, the old drive cloned over to the new drive and it worked flawlessly and best of all, the partitions were correct.
    • , It worked first time
    • The second time I did it, It said it failed to clone, however, I popped it in and found that it worked
    • This works every time.
    • Worked easily the first time
    • This time it worked once, and then burned the next drive
    • I have used it for 4 different upgrades and it has worked perfectly each time.
    • I didn't think the time was at all unreasonable
    • Used it umpteenth times.. really handy
    • Everything worked perfectly the first time
    • I didn't know for some reasons this time I bought it from here (because the old one I gave it to my brother) and used it for a back up again, it didn't work as smooth and fast as the one i bought from best buy
    • It worked first time with little if any fuss.
    • Excellent time and problem saver!
    • Couldn't ask for an easier time
    • Followed the instructions and it worked like a champ the first time
    • Excellence product working every time 5Star
    • I ultimately had success using Paragon instead, which worked like a charm the first time.
    • The last time I swapped drives (before Apricorn was available) on a computer it was necessary to reload all of the applications and OS.
    • Write-up:I've already wasted time with this product on my SSD installation which I was finally able to do with another software package that I am wondering why I am writing a review at all.1.
    • It worked perfectly the first time
    • so it took some time, but I'd recommend it.
    • While the maker of this product will have you believe it's as easy as 1-2-3, it's not really that easy many times.
    • Google Chrome updates very frequently, so my cloning process gave me complaints from my browser the first time I opened it.
    • It worked first time without any problems, clear instructions, easy to follow.
    • The computer booted the first time and works better than the old drive.
    • It only gets a 4 star because I had to restart the process three times after accidentally bumping into the laptop.
    • I work in IT and this has helped me recover users' data numerous times
    • Worked first time as advertized
    • This product was a very good time saver
    • I tried a long time and ultimately failed to migrate a working Windows 7 partition.
    • The second time worked like a charm, but like an earlier reviewer stated, I'm not sure that the average user would find this software intuitive and could struggle with it.
    • They didn't work per documentation* Or had to waste time to make it
    • Worked great the first time, had no issues.
    • This device work flawlessly the first time.
    • Arrived on time well packaged.
    • don't waste your time on this product as it simply does not work -- it will not recognize the new SSD drive and it will not perform the cloning operation it claims
    • I clicked next and it again asked me to validate if I had the source and destination disk selected correctly, I said yes, and it asked me one last time, because if you have it wrong, you will lose your original hard drive if you switched them around
    • I've upgrade five laptops using this kit & it's worked every time
    • Worked flawlessly the first time
    • I've used this kit on five sep PC laptops & experienced no issues each time
    • Faster boot times for sure with my new Crucial 240GB SSD drive
    • This time it worked once, and then burned the next drive
    • If you have USB 2.0 only, expect a very lengthy wait time
    • I took some time but it all worked when it was finished
    • I simply cloned my old hard drive onto the new SSD and it worked perfectly the first time
    • I got something called Macrium Reflect (freeware version) and had a very easy time replacing the drives
    • I ran it 5 times, with 5 different configurations, and each failed for different reasons
    • I admit I was tempted by the offer of an easy exit, but resolved to see this through myself mainly because I'd already sunk way too much time into doing this "simple" upgrade (including a totally unproductive call to Acer
    • Would not allow me to get past the "Select Destination Drive" step either in Windows, or in the bootable mode, and had a hard time finding a troubleshooting guide, but finally noticed a recommendation in the instructions to compress the source drive.
    • Software froze at selecting drive section every time on regular or reverse cloning
    • That said, compared to other reviews I read on Amazon about other cables, the one worked flawlessly the first time
    • While it cloned the HDD over to an SSD in reasonable time and finished with no errors - the drives would not boot in either machine.
    • I've used this many times and would be lost with out it
    • Since I will only be cloning my hard drive this one time, the free trial worked perfectly for me.
    • I tried 5 times and it failed
    • I usually don't have an easy time with this sort of thing, so I wasn't expecting it to work so well.
    • This time it worked
    • Has worked flawlessly several times now, does exactly what I need it to do which is to clone one drive to another.
    • Once I had gone through it, it was easier the second time on another computer a day later.
    • Worked first try cloning to a Crucial BX100 SSD on an HP Envy 15t quad laptop (Acronis True Image software used).
    • had to get update from dev at apricrn, real nice e-mailed right back, great software , it works wonderful, i'm using with windows 8 pro
    • Seems to be no way to only clone the 398 gig C: drive and ignore the empty E: drive
