If the used capacity is greater than the capacity of the SSD, it is required that you move some of
your data such as pictures, movies, music, etc. off of the drive to an alternative data source
(e.g., external hard drive or USB drive) until the Used space is no more than 85% of your new
SSD capacity. This will help to ensure that the imaging process is successful. The following
chart may be useful as a guide:
After the cloning process has been successfully completed, these files can be moved back to
their original location on the hard drive.
Handling Precautions
To prevent damage from static electricity, observe the following precautions:
● Allow the drive to remain in the anti-static container until you are ready to install the SSD.
● Wear a wrist strap and connect the ground strap to the computer case to minimize static
electricity.
● Use care in handling the drive. Do not touch the connectors.
