Optimize for SSD and Sector by Sector clone?

Thread needs solution

Hello, I just bought a Western Digital Blue 3D 250G SSD and downloaded the Acronis True Image that came free with it.

Replacing 500G HDD with 250G SSD

I do not see an option for Optimize for SSD and Sector by Sector clone. Does it automatically do this? If not, how bad would it be to clone my HDD to a new SSD with this software?

 

Thank you for any help.

What version of True Image was included with the drive?  True Image versions 2014 and after automatically optimize for SSD's.  We recommend that before you Clone a drive you make a Full Disk Backup of the Source drive, in your case the HDD prior to running the clone as an insurance in case of failure of the clone procedure.

We also recommend creating and using Recovery (bootable) media to perform a clone task. For a guide look HERE
