Yes it does. When considering automatic processes like automatic cloning or restoring full disks, in particular, but not only, to different sized disks, I recommend to switch to manual so that you can verify how ATI intends to set the offset and the size of partitions.

If your current hard drive has the correct alignment ("partition starting offset" often referred to as 1 mb offset before partition 1), TrueImage will restore that correct alignment onto a target hard drive (SSD).

-On the other hand, if the current drive does NOT have the correct alignment, then TrueImge may restore the wrong alignment to the SSD unless corrected by the user. The user must know what is correct and must correct if correction needed. Also user needs to know which is the active partitions and correct if correction needed. -

--Step 1 is determining what alignment your current disk has. Note this example. The illustration shows the path to use to view your own drive.

--Step 2 might be to open your Windows Disk Management console and print out the graphical view of your current hard drive. This print out will show the sequence of partitions; and which is the active partition and how many partitions you actual have. Keep this print out as you may need to refer to this information if and when you need to restore to a blank disk.

--Step 3Review this link, particularly item 1 and 2. This shows how to restore a TrueImage Backup onto an SSD or other hard drive. Note the illustrations inside item 1 and 2 which show the 1 alignment setting before partition 1.
