But we are far from a perfect world. You can go for combo PCI express / NAND devices that give you transfer rates around 700 MB/sec (e.g. http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/info/A...1RVDX220/1774/) - so that's crazy performance! My issue is that I don't want to install Win7 + all the software again, and haven't played with Ghost when you are trying to clone a mostly empty 2T HDD onto a 256GB SSD |
I think that would work as when ghost restores the image it leaves the rest of the drive as free space and the drive doesn't have to be a specific size. I am almost positive it would work as long as the used space isn't more than the capacity of the new drive.
