Good evening,
I am going to replace the stock Intel 160GB SSD in my W520 with a 256GB Samsung 830 SSD using Acronis Home Image 2012. Just wondering if anybody had any ThinkPad specific tips or issues using Acronis s/w or the Samsung 830? Thanks in advance.

Re: Cloning Replacement SSD
Acronis should manage everything just perfectly.

Thank you for the reply. The 830 arrived yesterday. Take care.visionviper wrote:Acronis should manage everything just perfectly.

Re: Cloning Replacement SSD
Well, the 830 is now successfully installed in the W520. Didn't actually clone the disk, (That appeared to assign a different drive letter.) I restored the latest Acronis backup instead. Drive is working just fine and appears to pass all tests. (Lenovo, Si Sandra, Samsung Magician, etc.)
The over-provisioning thing along with its unallocated space kind of weirded me out but a little online research appears to show it as normal. Thanks again.
