What interface are the drives connected to? And how much data needs to be copied?

I'm going from Sata II to Sata III And the new laptops coming in are PCIe M.2 SATA III.

Just wondering since you say that these are 40GB Sata Drives are they Sata1 Drives? Maybe the speed of the drive is getting in your way. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sam Cayze Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2013 10:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Cloning drives... over the LAN? Yes. But still doesn't alleviate my problem. I have plenty of local cloning options up my sleeve.

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.

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.
