Most warranties last for two years, but it depends on the component and manufacture. Many Power Supplies are warrantied for 8+ years. Hard Drives and are usually 3 years. SSDs are usually 5 years. It just depends. Thanks for that, as I said I wasn't 100% sure, all of the components in mine are under warranty, but this is of course a tower I didn't build at home. I did lose HDD #3 at one point, but this was replaced by the builders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That SSDs are better for storing files that you want to keep till the end of your life? I ask this because the Hard Drive in my PC is about 10 years old and I want to buy another one before it breaks but I do not know what to choose. In the long term, no, Hard Drives are generally more resilient; especially when sitting dormant (not connected and powered on) in a closet or something. That's not to say many Hard Drives don't fail though, they can and do. It's important to note that file/filesystem corruption is not the same thing as the hard drive hardware failing. So keep that in mind. I am not sure why the Warranties are like that. Perhaps SSD manufacturers are just more generous than WD & Seagate. Most people (including me) have their OS and programs on an SSD, and their data (movies, music, documents, pictures, project files) on hard drives. Why? Because the OS and programs greatly benefit from the increased I/O the SSD provides, while data generally doesn't benefit or otherwise need it. 1 Quote My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you (or anyone else) provide, or link to, instructions for moving the OS and programs to an SSD without reinstalling the operating system? I have a small (128 GB) SSD which is currently unused because the only simple instructions I can find are for moving everything from the HD to the SSD. (My programming knowledge is quite good, but my OS and hardware knowledge is rudimentary -- to be kind.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Samsung's Data Migration Software to do that, simply because I didn't want to take the time to explorer other options and I knew it would work without any special knowledge. (I was exited, and want to use the SSD asap ) It only works with Samsung SSDs though. I use Clonezilla for system imaging (snapshot backups); I'm pretty sure you could also use it to clone a HDD to a SSD. I don't see why not. Just make sure everything on the HDD is less than 128GB, otherwise the image won't fit on the SSD. 1 Quote My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Thank you, toe_head2001. I'll look into Clonzilla for making snapshot backups, which is something I want to do, since Windows' built-in backup program is giving me fits (I love a program that displays its errors as hex codes, like some hacked-together program written by a rather dim high-school student). I had Norton Ghost, but it doesn't work under Windows 10. Clonzilla probably won't help with the SSD migration, since I don't want to replace my entire HD with the SSD. Unfortunately, my SSD is a Toshiba, not a Samsung. I'll look around to see if perhaps Toshiba has a similar migration program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I've see some people also recommending EaseUS Todo Backup Free edition for the migration. I've never used it, but it looks idiot proof (not that you're an idiot). Although I'm not sure it would help with the issue of migrating only a portion of your HDD. I think it would be worth looking into though. Quote My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
