Either my search terms were too ambiguous or it's late enough in the evening that I'm not doing it right, but I can't seem to find an answer to my question. A while back I upgraded an HDD to an SSD and I had to jump through a couple of hoops to ensure it was aligned properly.
I just built a new rig for my dad over the weekend and spent hours arranging things so it was just like his old computer (but a hell of a lot faster). I used the same SSD (60GB) drive I had previously upgraded him to and figured I'd wait for the 128GB M4 to drop to a really good price to upgrade to at a later time. Also, the 64GB was fine with 32 bit Windows 7, but now that he's on 64-bit, the free space is less than I feel comfortable with.
As it so happens, today Amazon has the M4 128GB at a really good price (lowest yet for them according to camelcamelcamel) and I pulled the trigger on it. All I want to know is if there's anything I need to worry about when it comes to cloning from an SSD to a larger SSD? I wouldn't expect so, and normally I'd just do a clean install...but...I JUST finished this rig and I really don't wanna.
Are there any suggested programs to use that work well with SSDs or can I just use my old copy of clonezilla? Thanks folks of the anandtech forum...always the best advice here.
