![]() ![]() To make use of the extra space, Clone with resizing feature of Stellar Drive Clone can be used to distribute the space among other volumes.’ When the target drive is of size greater than the source drive then the extra space left after cloning will become useless. If the destination drive is larger than the source drive, you can resize the destination drive volume to make full use of it’. ‘By default, the source drive will clone to the destination drive without any changes. ‘If the target drive is of same size as the source drive, or of size greater than the source drive but the extra space is not needed than cloning can be performed without resizing the volumes of destination drive’. The Stellar Drive Clone manual says this about it: I want to make full use of the 1TB in the new Samsung SSD. I think I need to select this option (with resizing) because the Samsung SSD is bigger(1TB) than what is in my Macbook HD(500GB). I chose 'Disk Clone' and then 'Clone with resizing'. I placed the new Samsung SSD in the Seagate adapter and opened Stellar Drive Clone. I never cloned before and do not know much about these things, I hope someone can explain to me how to do it step by step. I want to put the new Samsung SSD in my Macbook when it is cloned. I looked at using the dd command in terminal and it looks rather daunting and I don't want to accidentally cook the source with a bad flag input.I want to clone my Macbook Pro (Late 2011) on a new Samsung 850 Pro SSD 1TB with a Seagate Thunderbolt adapter using Stellar Drive Clone. Attempts to contact their support are met with a pay wall. But, the software doesn't indicate either way and there is nothing in their knowledgebase about it. This may be due to their demo not supporting cloning as a free feature. Stellar drive clone attempts to do a clone but fails on the partition creation. Phoenix doesn't seem to do a drive clone and rather focuses of file backup and recovery. I've looked at stallar phoenix and stellar drive clone(demo). I looked at carbon copy cloner and it use to do block clones in an old version but it relied on a OS X toolkit that had a 2TB drive limitation. So, many of the utilities such as superduper will not recognize the drive. The issue arrises from drobos proprietary file format. I'm finding that most drive utilities don't actually perform a good old fashioned blind block clone anymore. Drobo forums recommends block level copy of the drive pack. I'm trying to recover a panicked drobo 5D. I'm asking here because I haven't found any satisfactory solutions on Drobo's knowlegebase. ![]()
