Quick SSD Cloning Question

Hi,

I ordered a Samsung 850 EVO and have a quick question about cloning it.

Do I clone it while its internally connected to a sata cable? Or do I clone it while connected externally to USB? From what I have seen online it comes with a program that says it needs to be connected via USB to clone, but I was wondering if its possible to do in internal too.

 

Thanks in avance.

I've cloned an 850 evo while it was connected via sata without issue.

I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work over sata.
