will transcend ssd scope clone from larger drive to smaller

So this will be the crucial part to determine whether or not this SSD performs better than its common competitors.

The SSD370S uses a custom firmware from Transcend unlike some manufacturers that rely on Silicon Motion’s end to end solutions that offer the whole package – controller hardware and firmware. Actually the firmware is the heart of the SSD and it’s an important aspect that should be considered when looking for a reliable and high-performance solution. However, as we all know the controller itself isn’t sufficient to bring a significant change in the performance as its only task is to spit out the numbers needed for calculation. The SM2246EN can be considered as a mainstream controller and it’s easy to be mixed up with other SSDs on the market. This isn’t a rare practice because most of the manufacturers want to distinguish themselves on the market and clear out the confusion. The device uses Silicon Motion SM2246EN controller that has been relabeled to TS6500. The section headed Challenge 2.Courtesy of We start off with the custom firmware that the SSD is shipping with. So, if I am understanding things correctly now I have the choice of using Paragon to pick and choose what I want to clone or temporarily remove the 675gb of photo files from C: (of course, they are backed up on a couple of USB 3 external hdds) and then doing the clone using SSD Scope. The SSD Scope software when it says it will clone my OS really is saying it will clone the OS partition which is currently 809gb.

A good example of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing.:lol: Well, my OS partition is, I suppose, my whole C: drive which is 921gb and I am using 809gb of it (for Win8.1 + programs + data). Now I realize that what they meant is that it would clone my OS partition which is a very important distinction. I read about the SSD Scope software before buying and I naively thought when they said their software could clone my OS that I was all set. I had bought the 256gb SSD with the intention of only putting Win8.1, my installed programs (Lightroom, Photoshop, etc.), and my Lightroom catalog on it and then using the 1tb HDD as my data disk where I would keep my photo files (currently about 675gb) that are imported into Lightroom and other data. Your answer made me realize something that I didn't before. DataMedic, thank you again for your reply.
