As mentioned in this Reddit post, many users want to transfer data from their preinstalled hard drive to another because of storage or other hard drive issues. If you wonder, "Can I transfer all my data from one SSD to another?" You will get the answer in the affirmative.

You can transfer data from one SSD to another, and there are many ways. For instance, you can manually copy and paste data from one hard drive to another or back up your SSD and restore it to another SSD. Unfortunately, the above 2 methods have fatal drawbacks if the source SSD is your boot drive: the boot files cannot be transferred to another SSD, and even if you succeed, the target SSD cannot boot successfully. 

Thankfully, there is another way out. Cloning can help you transfer all data from one hard drive to another, including the saved data and installed Windows, and make the target disk bootable without trouble. If you want to transfer data from one Samsung SSD to another, cloning will be the best and most effective way to do so.

Preparations before cloning Samsung SSD to another:

• Backup Data. Although generally safe, you should back up your SSD (If the target SSD is not new, back it up because cloning will erase data on the destination disk.) with a reliable backup program to avoid data loss. EaseUS Todo Backup, a free backup utility, comes to help.
• Prepare a connection cable. When transferring data between internal and external drives, you need one connector, like a USB-to-SATA cable, to connect the new SSD to your PC.
• Download SSD cloning software. Windows lacks preinstalled cloning features to clone a hard drive. If you want to clone SSD to SSD, you must use professional disk clone software. EaseUS Disk Copy, a safe and reliable disk cloning tool, can help.
