SSD to SSD question
Now the previous SSD was a rather older gen one - a Super Talent SSD UltraDrive GX. My question - can I simply clone the old SSD to the new SSD and then expand the partition or do I need to do a full clean install? |

Should just be able to clone it. I've cloned this installation from an HDD to SSD array, to HDD, to SSD array to different SSD array and haven't had any issues so far.

it doesn't matter since your disk image deals only with data and not how the data is represented in the flash. in fact, two identical SSDs with the same controllers won't necessarily put the same data in the same place in flash, though it appears to be identical in the OS

Just cloned a back-up from my ssd drive, went without a problem, you could run a file check on the C: drive prior to cloning, I did this to check the file system, it came up with no errors. I've never had problems cloning ssd drives, on mine it took an hour with 300gb data, I was only backing up to a standard disk drive, should be quicker between two ssd drives.
The backup disk can be used as the C: drive in the event of problems with the ssd drive, simply need only to swap drives, I do it fortnightly. Nothing worse than installing windows on a laptop. |
