so this video is going to be kind of a precursor to something I'm going to be working on shortly this is how to clone
0:06
a hard drive so I'm going to start with pressing the F lock cuz I have one of
0:09
those old Microsoft keyboards that actually has an FL lock button so I'm
0:13
pressing f11 going into my boot menu I have three drives attached to this
0:17
system the first one is a DVD drive okay inside there I have a copy of aonis uh
0:22
True Image 2010 and then over here I have the two drives that I want to clone
0:27
so I've got a raptor 160 GB hard drive
0:30
and that is going to be my source drive and then I'm going to be cloning that to
0:34
a Vertex 60 gig SSD so I'm going to
0:38
select the CD or dvd as my boot drive
0:42
and then it is going to keep going and
0:45
loading things won't take too long there we go
0:49
and we'll get right into the acronis true IM oh look at how my mouse is
0:54
behaving that's very strange I can't move side to side that's the weirdest
0:58
thing I've seen in a while so I'll use the keyboard and just do that there we
1:03
go problem solved uh basically what I'm doing this
1:07
for is we did a tech tips episode recently where we compared a hard drive
1:11
to an SSD and I had a couple complaints that the comparison wasn't exactly Fair
1:17
the drives that I used were the vertex limited edition from ocz which is the
1:22
fastest ocz vertex SSD on the market at this time
1:27
and then the drive I compared it against was the Western digital 1 tbte caviar
1:31
black which is a very respectable Drive By Any stretch of the imagination but I
1:36
had a lot of people asking me well what if we did it with a 10,000 K RPM Drive
1:42
what if you used a lower-end SSD so that's exactly the comparison I'm
1:46
prepping now I'm using that same image which I've already cloned to the Raptor
1:49
160 gig 10,000 RPM drive and then I'm going to load that onto a Vertex 60 gig
1:54
which is again a much lower-end SSD so we're going to go down to tools and
1:58
utilities click clone dis and we're
2:01
going to go manual mode then I'm going to select my source dis which is dis 2
2:06
the 149 Gigabyte Western Digital there we go click next and then
2:12
I'm going to select my target disc click next uh okay I'm overwriting a previous
2:18
version of the same image so it should be just fine I'm going to use
2:22
proportional and I'm going to proceed it takes about half an hour and then I will
2:28
be able to shoot my little quick episode comparing the vertex 60 against the WD
2:33
Raptor um 10,000 RPM Drive
