Cloning and sectors

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I have a WD Drive with 512 bytes per sector, I want to clone it to a new Seagate with 4 k per sector structure, is it possible to do that with Acronis Disk Director 12 or even with Acronis True Image 2014 ?

Thanks in advance for any help

Hello Robert,

the size of physical sector doesn't matter. However, Acronis Disk Director only supports disks with 512 bytes logical sector size.

Please find more details in this article.

Acronis True Image in turn does not support cloning if the source drive has different logical sector size than the destination drive. Details are available here.

So please clarify if you are asking about logical or physical sectors.

Thank you.
