Hello, I need to copy a bootable HDD onto an SSD, whats the easiest way to do that without having to download a 300MB program (limited data :( )? Would it be as simple as formatting the SSD, then transfering everything from the HDD to the SSD? I usually use software, but I must have deleted it. Thanks!

Doesnt the SSD come with a transfer utility? I know that Samsung / Sandisk etc comes with the transfer utility.

AFAIK Sandisk didn't include transfer software, only the SMART software. I have 7 WD Blues so i genrally use WD/Acronis.
