Just a thought but, did the SSDs come with its own software to "clone" to the 
new drive? Mine did, though I chose to do a fresh install.

Subject: [NTSysADM] Cloning drives... over the LAN?

Swapping a lot of my users HDs to SSDs.  I've been doing this after the user 
leaves for the day, connecting the drive via SATA, and cloning.  ~40GB, and 
takes me about 2 hours each.

Need to a way to speed this up.  These are all laptops which the user almost 
always takes home.

Is there a product that will seed a drive over the lan during the day, then do 
one last incremental/verify to the cloned drive when I'm ready for the final 
switch?  Then I can do most of the cloning during the day and limit user down 
time.  (And my time).
