SATA Hd copy to SS hd question(s)

[Da Mail Man]

Greetings all,

Win 7, 32bit, 1 TG hd...

I have a quick question, simplistic as it sounds...

I have a desktop computer that, I want to install a 1tb SS hard drive into...In effect, clone my 1TB SATA hard drive onto the SS hd...

Would that SS hd have the same sata connections?....Also, I had read some time ago that it was not a "good thing" to defrag a SS-hd...
Please advise...

Thanks

If it's a SATA SSD yes it is the same connections.
If it's an NVmE drive they are not the same connections.

Also yes you do not defrag SSD's. It reduces the life and is not needed because of the way SSD's operate.

Thanks for the reply...

IF, and I say "IF", I transferred the contents (clone) a sata hd to "SS" and it was fragmented, would not then what would appear on the SS hd be also fragmented with no solution to cure that?
