Hardware How to clone SSD?

This is why they offer kits.

But to be honest your best option is a USB hard drive enclosure, as you can reuse the mechanical drive as an external drive.

Thanks. I'll take a look around for an enclosure.

Not exactly an answer to your question but...

If you want to do a fresh install on your SSD but retain all the data on your old drive (so you can use it for something else) you can use Sysinternals' Disk2vhd which converts your entire disk into a virtual hard disk file. You can mount this in Windows and access all your files or even boot from it using boot from VHD or using vitualization software.

Decided on a fresh install on the SSD and kept the old drive and used it in a usb caddy. Thanks for all the tips.

For future reference... a few options here
