Solution D_Know_WD Dec 1, 2016 Hi there Dandal, You want to clone the drive onto the SSD right? Thread on cloning: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/277484-32-best-disk-cloning-software No, the data on the HDD would be intact, unless you reformat it. Once you clone the HDD onto the SSD, you switch their places and reformat the HDD. Let me know in case you have some more questions, D_KnoW_WD
