![]() So long as you're cloning from a SSD to another SSD (or a hard disk to another hard disk), and you're using a proper cloning tool that will update the disk UUID to prevent hardware conflicts (for example - Macrium Reflect), there is no problem doing so. ![]() However! The basic premise in this article is incorrect. SSD's have no such luxury due to the way cells are written and erased. Hard disks, for the most part, don't need any kind of alignment because data is read in stripes of arbitrary sizes in multiples of 512 bytes regardless of where the boundary is. Solid state drives *must* be partition boundary aligned, otherwise you get substantial performance degradation and a substantial increase in data writes (NAND wear). It's a dumb idea to clone from a disk drive to a SSD.
