AstroEma Posted Saturday at 08:05 PM Posted Saturday at 08:05 PM Hi all, I have just bought a new 2TB NVME drive and need to move the current DCS installation to the new drive. do you recommend installing the new drive first and then get an external enclosure for the old NVME to transfer DCS from it? or a different procedure? thanks for the help!

Rudel_chw Posted Saturday at 08:34 PM Posted Saturday at 08:34 PM In my opinion the easiest way is to clone your current drive onto the new, here is a guide using the free version of a well known software: https://www.diskpart.com/clone/clone-nvme-ssd-3690.html 1 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB

silverdevil Posted yesterday at 01:00 PM Posted yesterday at 01:00 PM (edited) @AstroEma - i agree with @Rudel_chw. this is what i did to my system. i purchased a new 4 TB drive and a USB cradle because my 2 TB was getting close. in my case i used acronis that i already owned. i was able to clone the drive while running in about 1 hour. windows will not even know it happened except for a new device.

AstroEma Posted yesterday at 03:41 PM Author Posted yesterday at 03:41 PM Thank you again. How long does it normally take. I have downloaded AOMEI Partition Standard and it tells me 3h.39 but then during the operation the Mb copied are incredibly slow (10 Mb in 3 minutes or something like that) Kaby Lake @ 4.6Ghz - Gigabyte Z170-D3H - 16Gb DDR4 - Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 OC - Samsung EVO 250Gb SSD - Seagate 1 Tb HDD - HTC Vive - Rift CV1

Rudel_chw Posted yesterday at 03:50 PM Posted yesterday at 03:50 PM It can take a while, depends a lot on what interfaces are you using for the drives, here is more info: https://www.diskpart.com/clone/cloning-hard-drive-takes-forever-1503.html For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
MAXsenna Posted yesterday at 03:54 PM Posted yesterday at 03:54 PM OP, is the drive your Windows drive too? (You didn't specify). If not, there is really no need to clone anything, unless you want the partition to be identical for some reason or another. Just copy DCS folder to the new drive.Cheers!

AstroEma Posted yesterday at 04:02 PM Author Posted yesterday at 04:02 PM I am connected via USB-C. I understand about the no need to clone for DCS. I am making a run for the future when I'll clone the main windows SSD. 1 Kaby Lake @ 4.6Ghz - Gigabyte Z170-D3H - 16Gb DDR4 - Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 OC - Samsung EVO 250Gb SSD - Seagate 1 Tb HDD - HTC Vive - Rift CV1

Yeah, that was my point I forgot to mentioned. If there is a spare slot on the mainboard, it will be quicker to insert the drive there, or even get card with slots.
