How-to Guide | Clone NVMe SSD to NVMe SSD

NVMe has been specially designed for SSDs to connect the storage interface and the system CPU using the PCI Express (PCIe) sockets. The NVMe SSDs are a significant improvement over the SATA SSDs, HDDs, and more. 

If we draw the major line of differences between NVMe SSDs and normal SSDs, the connectivity, speed, and efficiency are greater in the NVMe protocol than in traditional SSDs. This article, offered by EaseUS, will tell you how to clone NVMe SSD to NVMe SSD.

Before you dive into the detailed information on this topic, let's see what you need to prepare.

Can I Clone NVMe SSD to NVMe SSD

You must be wondering that since there are various form factors of NVMe SSD, is it possible to clone NVMe SSD to NVMe SSD? The answer is yes. You can clone NVMe SSDs with different form factors.

One of the major reasons that push users to clone SSD is enhanced storage capacity. NVMe SSDs are available in different sizes. There must be ample situations where users feel the need to have larger storage for efficient performance.

The tool we recommend that helps you clone NVMe SSD is EaseUS Disk Copy. Since Windows does not provide a built-in cloning feature, it becomes essential to rely on third-party software to clone the SSDs.

The EaseUS Disk Copy's interface is clear and simple, and users can easily understand how to use it once installed. It can help you migrate Windows from HDD to SSD or SSD to SSD and clone an HDD to an SSHD. In addition, it can also allow you to resize partitions in the cloning process and install Windows after replacing a hard drive.

The process of cloning NVMe SSDs is similar to cloning a computer hard drive to SSD. In the entire cloning process, you do not have to reinstall Windows. Also, your data is secured throughout the process.

What Do You Need in NVMe to NVMe Cloning

As NVMe SSD is a newer model of SSD, you need to do some extra operations before cloning for secure boot. Here are what you should prepare.

● Newer computer hardware (it is better to have Skylake chipsets or later, even if NVMe is compatible with old computers) 
● An M.2 PCI-E x4 slot
● UEFI firmware & UEFI boot mode

If you have already run an operating system on NVMe SSD, the above pre-conditions can be omitted. All you need to pay attention to is the following two aspects:

● The NVMe M.2 slot. If there is only one NVMe M.2 slot, you have two choices in SSD migration, use an adapter from M.2 to PCle for the second drive to do cloning, and use backup & restore to migrate. 
● The NVMe SSD cloning software. The software should be an all-around tool that offers features for your different cloning plans.
