What do you mean by the destination drive has to be equal or bigger than the primary original? Does that mean if the boot os drive is 1.2TB, then i cant boot off of it and load it on a drive that is 512gb?

if the drive to be cloned is larger than the destination drive, it won't work. 

 

though, i think clonezilla does have an intelligent option where you can clone to a smaller drive if the primary drive have less USED storeage.

 

for example; i have a 1TB drive and a 512GB drive.

if the 1TB drive only has 128GB of storage on it it can still be cloned to the 512GB drive. 

 

that is, if i remember correctly, it has been a while since i've needed to use clonezilla. 

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Okay that makes sense. I think I will look into using clonezilla to get close to what i wanted to do originally.
