Cespenar Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 My son passed a "Crucial CT512mx100SSD1" to me when he went bigger. Can I use this as a backup by attaching, backing up a few things, then removing? My drives are: C 186 free of 237 / D 734 free of 931 / 391 free of 465 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_cow Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 You sure can. Just get one of those external USB enclosures for $10. If you can swing USB 3.2, you will enjoy the higher speeds for larger files. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cespenar Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Great. Thank you. I was just talking to my grandson about a caddy. On 6/30/2020 at 11:06 AM, ir_cow said: You sure can.

Antarrox Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 I think this is a very good idea, because I myself prefer data security. You can use special software to work with backup and disk partitions. But I recommend checking the wear and health of the SSD before using it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chananain Posted April 22, 2022 Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) I think you have to do this because if the SSD increases in size, it means that soon it will already be faulty. And that's why you need to make periodic backups of data in the cloud to be sure that if something happens to your SSD, you will have all the data you have on it in the cloud. By the way, I haven't done this before, and at one point, I paid for it, and I had to repair my SSD for a very long and expensive time. It's good that I came across competent and intelligent specialists in data recovery from SSD -- salvagedata.com. I don't know what I would do without them.

Antarrox Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) I use a Samsung SSD, so I use their proprietary backup utility. For me, this is the optimal solution, I don't know how things are with other manufacturers. If you had problems before the backup, you can use partition recovery free. By the way, standard Windows tools also offer the possibility to implement a backup.

Justiko Posted February 7 Posted February 7 (edited) From my own experience, I can say that backing up data is very important. I can also advise you to monitor the current state of SSD and CDD. For example, I was in the following situation: I quickly discovered that the SSD was dying. Therefore, I chose a new mSATA SSD and transferred all the data from the old drive in advance.
