My current SSD is running out of space I've been wanting to upgrade to a new ssd. I currently have 2 extra msata slots and want to upgrade my current msata ssd to the samsung evo 850 1TB msata ssd.

My main question is would I need a msata to sata usb adapter to clone my os and data from my current ssd to the evo or can I just use one of the empty slots to do so or can I just use the extra slots?

Also, would you know if samsung migrate would be able to clone my os to the new ssd? looking forward to hearing from you and thank you for your time.

OK...
If those ports actually run an mSATA drive, no problem.

Put the new one in, and clone from the old drive to the new drive.
Macrium Reflect should do this easily.

You should be able to just connect the new device and use Samsung Migrate.

But depending on your motherboard you may need to watch which SATA ports you are using and may need to make some bios changes to the onboard devices (for example ASUS shares the CPU lanes between mSATA and PCI Express and the latter is the default, so it needs to be changed, or in the case of MSI SATA ports 5-6 disable).

Thank you for the response. I was wondering if you knew either a video or other thread that might help me out on making sure I'm installing the chip correctly cause I kind of dont want to just do something wrong and lose all my money ;(

Yeah, the thing is I got this computer from Japan so the brand and model number might not be of any use, but I was looking up online and it is quite similar to the MSI GT70 I think, but if you want the link to about my laptop info I can send it to you just need to google translate the page to English with chrome ;(

No I dont.
Honestly i'm a complete noob at this, but I also do not want to spend a lot of money for someone to do this for me.
