So I have a Sabrant rocket 4.0 2tb nvme that is ‘dying’ according to hwinfo and the sabrant tools. Some kind of firmware issue so I want to move it out of production. And while I’m at it replace my 2tb ‘d’ drive.
I chose Samsung 990 Pro 4tb as replacement. I’ve used the samsung disk magician tools to clone drives many times, but only with sata SSD not nvme. I picked up a usb c nvme dock ( AMZ Pilot ) but the samsung software does not see the drive, and reports it as 2tb ( although the AMZ claims to have a 4tb max ). Device manager and disk management both see a 4tb drive. I tried another external nvme drive caddy with the same result. A cursory bit of looking says that the Samsung software ‘might’ work with a thunderbolt dock which I don’t have.
The MB ( Asus WS WRX80-E Sage ) has a free M.2 slot, but it is under my video card and I’d rather not pull that 4 times to complete the 2 drive swaps. I also have the Hyper card, but it looks like I would have to jigger the bios to enable it for the exercise.
So, any other suggestions of a different dock, or better/different cloning software. I have used Acronis, Minitool but just the paid versions and for this one off I don’t need another purchase.
Clonezilla, macrium, and Diskgenius are available. One better than another?
