Seagate Cloning Software: Migrate Data to Seagate Drive Easily
Can I transfer data on hard drive to Seagate SSD?
“I plan to upgrade my current system hard drive that is running Windows 10 with a SATA Seagate SSD. I don’t want to waste time on the operating system and program reinstallation and I would like to realize if it is possible to migrate all data from Windows 10 hard drive to Seagate SSD without hassles. Is there any suggestion?”
Seagate cloning software for Windows 11/10/8/7
If you have bought a Seagate hard drive, you can get integrated cloning software, Seagate DiscWizard, which allows you to back up, clone hard drive, and so on. With it, you can move all hard drive data to SSD through cloning. However, there are chances that you stuck in Seagate DiscWizard not cloning or not detecting drive issues. In such a condition, you probably want to find out Seagate DiscWizard alternative to complete cloning operation.
Here I recommend you powerful and all-around data migration software for Seagate disk – Qiling Disk Master Professional, which offers two copy methods: Clone Disk Quickly (only clone used space on source disk to target one) and Sector-by-Sector Clone (copy all sectors on source disk to target one). You can choose one copy method based on your demand.
If you need to clone drive to smaller one or want to spend less time on cloning process, the first option is suitable; if you want to clone not only the used sectors but also the unused sectors on source hard drive, you can pick up second way.
Apart from Disk Clone, it is featured with Migrate OS to SSD Wizard and Partition Clone Wizard, making it possible to perform cloning flexibly based on the specific demand.
Now, download Seagate cloning software – Qiling Disk Master Standard and have a look at how to use it to clone hard drive to Seagate SSD/HDD.
Step 1. Connect the Seagate SSD or HDD to your computer and make sure it can be detected by OS. Install and run Qiling Disk Master Standard. Click Tools and utilities > Clone Disk.
Step 2. Select your original HDD as source disk( here is disk 0), then click Next.
Step 3. Select OCZ SSD as destination disk (here is disk 1), then click Next to continue.
Step 4. Ensure check the SSD Alignment to optimize performance for SSD and Click Proceed to clone HDD to OCZ SSD.
After cloning, all data on the hard drive will be copied to Seagate SSD/HDD.
- ★Tips:
- The destination Seagate SSD or HDD will be overwritten; you can backup necessary data in advance.
- After booting successfully from cloned Seagate disk, you can format the original hard drive to free up disk space.
Wrap things up
Qiling Disk Master is not only Seagate cloning software, but also cloning software for Samsung, Intel, SanDisk disk and etc. What’s more, it enjoys various powerful functions, which is helpful in solving problems related to disk or partition. For example, when C drive is almost full and you are receiving Low Disk Warning, you can use its Merge Partitions function to add contiguous or non-contiguous unallocated space into C drive.
