can't clone to hybrid drive using boot disc
I have Trueimage 2013 and made a boot disc so that I can do functions sans the Windows environment/OS. Anyway, I've been cloning my boot drive for a long time now and the cloned disc is bootable and works fine (I test it once in a while to make sure the clone function worked properly).
Anyway, I recently purchased a Seagate hybrid drive to replace my standard WD hard drive and when I run the clone function, somewhere along the line it stops and I have to reboot the PC. I'm running Win10 but I seriously doubt that this is the problem because I'm not running it off the Windows OS and secondly, if I do the cloning with the destination disk being a regular non-hybrid drive, it completes the process just fine.
The hybrid drive is a Seagate 2TB drive with 64MB of SSD memory/buffer. Is there something "special" I have to do in order for this hybrid drive to clone my regular hard drive successfully? I was hoping to clone this drive and replace it as my boot disk in order to gain performance/speed in boot time, program execution, etc. due to it's hybrid nature.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your reply. I guess that means there's no way to make my new hybrid drive the bootable C: drive because doing a backup won't be able to boot. My hybrid drive does have a 64Gb NAND so larger than other hybrids that I've seen that had 8 or 16GB only so I'm pretty sure it would've worked better but.... Placing the OS on a pure SSHD would be great but that would mean all the apps I have installed will have to be reinstalled on drive D: or whatever meaning that apps that don't offer an option as to where you want to install it will all take up the limited real estate on the C: drive. I guess I'll just live with it until the next new PC I buy. Thanks again!
