I connected the 850 EVO via a Thermaltake USB 3.0 dock. Today I was required to clone a Samsung 840 EVO SSD that has been intermittently failing ever-increasingly in the past couple of weeks. Read on below for more details if you need them. Make sure your source drive is Disk 1 and target is Disk 2 (whether that is forced via physical connections or configured in your BIOS) - please leave feedback if there is a better way to articulate this answer! I wish you all good health, good luck and fast SSD !!!. Īnd, of course, the well-deserved glory of HP for very reliable computers - we have a lot of them both at work and at home, and for many years they serve very reliably under very serious loads!. Glory to Macrium for the miracle product !!!. )Īnd again - about a miracle, a miracle !!! - it immediately loaded in 25 seconds and now "flies" like Elon Musk's Starship !!! Two hours later, the clone was created, I turned off the computer, opened the lid and installed a new SSD, after that I switched cables from the old HDD to the new SSD and turned on the computer with a shudder!. I connected Samsung SSD 870 EVO 1Tb via a USB 3.0 to DATA adapter.Ī few minutes later, the message "No access to the SSD disk" popped up, I clicked the specified link to the Windows menu section and provided "shared access" to the SSD.Īnd then - lo and behold! - I didn't do anything else!. disabled (exit / close) all other programs in the taskbar tray (on the right, where the clock is). disabled (close) the Google Drive synchronization program I did so, the test result showed that the SSD is completely functional.Īs a result of a short search and reading the reviews, I decided to use the free version of the Macrium cloning program, downloaded the Reflect 7 Free (Backup at Home) program from their official website and installed it on the HP ProDesk 400 G3 MT. A very long correspondence with Samsung support ended with the fact that I was offered to bring the SSD for a test to my service center. Then I downloaded the Samsung Data Migration cloning program and the problems started: this program on both computers did not want to recognize the new SSD connected via a USB 3.0 to DATA adapter.
Windows 10 Home Explorer (64bit) saw the new SSD on both computers via a USB 3.0 - DATA adapter. I have two computers: HP ProDesk 400 G3 MT and HP Desktop 460-p2xx. Is there something I'm doing wrong or do Samsung SSDs not play well with HP workstations ?
Tried the EVO in another PC and is found first time in Windows and several times after restarting the machine.
I can't get the system to boot at all, I get to the Protected by HP Sure Start Screen and the circles spin forever.until I turn of the computer.waited for a good 10 minutes.Ĭhecked for a BIOS update - None available.ĭisconnected everything else (other SATA SSD and DVD drive) - Same result.
The drive is recognised by BIOS and I either am able to boot to Windows (10) normally but the drive isn't there (not in disk management, not in Device Manager).like Windows doesn't know it is connected. I am running into several problems when the drive is connected. I have just purchased a new Samsung EVO 870 1Tb SATA SSD for use as a secondary drive in my HP Z4 G4 workstation and can't seem to get it to work.
