Hello, I'm trying to determine whether I can successfully clone between my legacy Seagate hard drive with 512 bytes sectors, and a new Crucial MX500 500GB SATA 2.5-inch 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) Internal SSD, before I make the purchase. The sales rep from crucial told me that Macrium Reflect free will "just take care of it." The Macrium Reflect knowledge base says that the software won't clone between drives with 512 byte sectors and 4096 byte sectors.

Making matters even more complicated, further reading about SSD's revealed that they use 1 megabyte blocks.

Will cloning using Macrium Reflect free work in both directions?
My apologies if this is a duplicate, but I think my initial question vaporize while I was trying to create an account.
