Clone SSD to older SATA Hard Drive
After 3 out of 5 SSD's have died (over the past two years), I have decided to revert to the
older, more reliable SATA Platter style Hard Drive.
Will Acronis allow me to perform this clone ? Some Cloning software I have tried will not.
Before I spend more money, I need to know if this is possible.
Thank you,
Richard S.

To be honest, I don't like to experiment (aka waste my time). Either this S/W will do what I want
to do or it will not.
Does anyone have a definitive answer to my question ?
Thank you,
Richard S.

Each setup is unique (hardware, OS, bios, motherboard, etc.) so there is no one size fits all scenario. It is possible and does work, but you have to test on your own system to valdiate that it is working and may need to change bios settings to get it to work.
You will have to test with any backup software you purchase. Blindly assuming it is working, without testing or validating the backup or clone in a real world scenario is likely ot lead to disaster when you really need to recover in an emergency. Even hardware clone devices (roughly $35 on Amazon) can not be trusted 100% and should be tested and validated afterwards.
If you feel that testing your backup or the configurations of backup software is a waste of time (I mean no offense here), then you're wasting your time using backup software in the first place.
