Got an M.2 NVME drive ?

ps: If you do decide to clone your c drive remember to first run disk cleanup delete all temp files from c:\windows\temp and C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Temp (hidden) and delete all your temporary internet files from your browsers

thanks! There is a disk clone utility by Intel that seems excellent mentioned in another thread.

From my experience using readyboost many years ago, i think windows 7 era. The performance improvement for launching small apps like office is more significant than games. Actually, i dont remember my games loads any faster with ready boost. But it was using a USB flash disk tho. hahaha.

Btw, yeah, agree with @Davros. Cloning C drive is easy and will give a huge, and noticable perf boost (even for opening START). It could take hours. When i cloned my almost full 1 TB SHDD (super slow out-of-cache read speed, under 100 MB/s sustained) to 1 TB nvme, it took ~10 hours. because the first 5 hours Macrium suddenly failed. I manually set the "Shadow copy" storage to 50GB, and the next 5 hours works awesome.

yeah, my SSHD is slow. only 60MB/s for "mixed" stuff. While my drive was filled with tons of small stuff from Android Studio projects, IIRC it even goes down to 40MB/s for quite some time.

but your HDD goes under 30MB/s... the clone process may take quite awhile... depending on how full and how many tiny files you got.

Do you use any adapter for the Seagate Laptop SSHD 2.5" 1TB disk? I mean.., because usually for laptop drives, you should need something like this to place it internally in your PC:

or a USB adapter:

I tried to replace the hdd in my laptop with a ssd
turns out the hard drive in the laptop was not sata or pata but zif
I didnt even know zif existed.

@Cyan
Laptop hdd use standard SATA power and data cables. So I simply plug them, no converter needed.

@Davros
ZIF connector on hdd? Is that the connector with thin but rather wide cable? That's quite unique indeed.

I cant remember now it was a few years ago I just remember expecting sata or pata and finding something else...
