   The holidays are over and I should have time to continue the project I   
   was working on 2 weeks ago.   
      
   I'm trying to switch to my new Samsung 870 EVO SATA 2.5 inch drive. The   
   paper in the box said to use Samsung Magician to clone the data. I'm   
   starting to believe that it doesn't work with a SATA drive!   
      
   People suggested I use a different cloning tool. I dismissed that idea   
   because, certainly, Samsung Magician would work after I got my computer   
   to recognize the new drive. Well I did that. It's now showing on File   
   Explorer as drive (J:) and I have formatted it. I tested it by copying a   
   file with several pictures inside to (J:). It went right in and the   
   pictures opened just fine. I formatted again to empty it.   
      
   I looked at you tube videos about using Samsung Magician. They all   
   showed a ssd that did not look like my SATA drive.  Samsung Magician   
   seems to have 2 ways to get to "Data Migration". One way pops up a   
   message that the drive isn't compatible. I originally feared that it was   
   warning me that the new drive wasn't compatible with my computer. Going   
   in the other way, it shows my C: drive as the source drive but it   
   prompts me to connect the Samsung SSD. It doesn't see it even though it   
   IS there and it works.   
      
   What cloning software is going to work with my SATA SSD?
