When you install a new SSD into your computer, you have to get the data from your old drive to your new one. That can be the most challenging part of the transfer. Once you are done, it would be nice if you could use your old drive for something other than a doorstop. The new Imation SSD Upgrade Kit offers you something to do with your old drive after the transfer, but doesn’t come with software or hardware for moving the data from your existing drive to the new SSD.

Thanks for covering the Imation SSD announcement. I work in the techinal service group at Imation and want to to clarify that our SSD Upgrade Kit does include Acronis TrueImage software that allows the user to make a clone of their current HDD to the new SSD. Then they install the SSD and boot to it, without having to reinstall OS or applications.

I should have also pointed out that to accomplish this, slide the SSD in the case, plug into USB and boot on the CD. Clone and remove the SSD from the case to install in laptop. Then the old HDD can be placed in the case and used as an external HDD.

dabartizal,
What is going on with these M-class drives failing? Is the firmware update intended to “fix” this? Sorry to bother you about this, but I purchased 64gb version less than 2 months ago, and is DEAD. If you look at the user review’s on newegg, you can see a dramatic number of people complaining about these drives all failing of recent. just looking for some guidance.
thanks in advance,
J
