I don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it. I need it....

Use Macrium reflect free version, create a recovery disk(select other tasks), image the whole disk to an external disk, install the ssd in your laptop, insert the recovery disk( prior to doing this change boot order in BIOS, make DVD as first boot device) and recover the image from your back up.

THANKS FOR UR HELP

Your be replacing a 2.5 hd with a 2.5 SSD, so its a straight swap, both are SATA drives.

Only time this is not the case is when its an old laptop with an IDE drive.

Yes, price went up

Showing as £42.99?

Showing £42.99 now

Thanks for the deal will this fit in the recent tesco lenovo laptop deal Lenovo 100-15IBD 15.6 Intel Core...

Alternative using Partition Wizard:
1] Buy on of these USB to SATA cables, or a caddy (example https://www.amazon.co.uk/USB-SATA-Serial-Adapter-Cable/dp/B00Q4W3262/ref=sr_1_23?ie=UTF8&qid=1464796305&sr=8-23&keywords=usb+to+sata)
2] Plug SSD into SATA side, and USB into computer
3] Either boot to Partition Wizard Bootable, or load Windows and run Partition Wizard. If your computer can't see USB SSD when using the bootable version, plug into black USB 2 port and reboot (sometimes USB 3 sockets can't be seen)
4] Select disk copy from Hard Drive to SSD using Wizard
5] Select to 'Align Partition', if the option is given (this increases speed on SSD)
6] Click Apply, and wait. If on Windows version, the computer will reboot

When finished, remove your hard drive from laptop and swap it with the SSD.

Extremely hot - nice find.

Complicated :disappointed:

Yea reflect free is great. Use it all the time

Use Macrium reflect free version, create a recovery disk(select other tasks), image the whole disk to an external disk, install the ssd in your laptop, insert the recovery disk( prior to doing this change boot order in BIOS, make DVD as first boot device) and recover the image from your back up.

Partition wizard

or a bootable ISO version, if you prefer

Use 'disk copy wizard' (this is the option I use because V8 does not have migrate option) or 'Migrate to SSD' option. It will copy the data and reduce the partitions automatically.

Can anyone recommend a cloning software? I bought one of these a few months ago and havent figured it out. I have about 100gb used on a 500gb hdd and want to transfer it to a 240 ssd

So obvious and Amazon do not care. How many Prime accounts do you have now (£10 off first order)?

Use a different account to order more

Just ordered one - thanks !

Pity you can only order one at this price...

Ordered yesterday. Cancelled just before dispatch then reordered at this price. Thanks OP.

Cheers OP, just cancelled my order from yesterday and reordered.

Same. I've got a way around it. I've ordered the 480GB at £79.99. I'll return the 240GB to Amazon.

The problem will be when the 480GB is then reduced further tomorrow :man:

No joy on the phone either. Oh well, order and return it is.

I ordered for £52.99 last week, I phoned up amazon and they offered me a £13 refund. Try ringing them instead of the online chat.

I'm a bit of a n00b with this. Will this fit in most laptops?

I can confirm that Amazon is not offering any refund. In my case, the explanation was that this is a Lightning deal, hence they only have a limited number for that price and thus do not offer the refund.

Great find. Thanks :smile:

currently i don't have an ssd just standard 2.5

just ordered......thanks for the heads up

Policies changed on this recently, no-one is getting price reduction refunds anymore

http://www.engadget.com/2016/05/23/amazon-drops-price-protection/

do i also need an adapter to install an ssd in Toshiba r630 laptop ?

I've just ordered one, great price

You're not being demanding enough then because they will

bargain price

I ordered one last week and they wouldn't refund me the difference yesterday, so I had to order again.
"We have made few changes to our polices and I'm afraid to inform you that we are unable to issue a price difference refunds"

amazon will refund the difference for you

Oh, come on. I just ordered one yesterday!

Cheers OP. Just grabbed one.

I don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it. I need it....

Beat me to it, ive just ordered one. Checked on camelcamelcamel and this is back to the lowest price its been. :smirk:
