[IMAGE] Samsung has specific NON Windows drivers and cloning software called data migration software. The procedure is to install the M2 blank and install the Samsung driver. Then clone with the DATA migration software. One problem is that the default setting is INTEL RST OPTANE instead of MSAHCI driver. So you have to edit the BCD to change windows to AHCI BEFORE cloning or anything else. Then install the Samsung Driver. Then clone with the data migration software.

Hello, I am trying to upgrade my  Area-51 R5 with a new new Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD. I already upgraded once from a 512 to a Samsung 970 1TB SSD using Micrium Reflect and had no problems. But now I had tried using Micrium Reflect (latest version) and Minitool Partition wizard (latest Version), and every time I put the new 2TB Samsung 980 Pro after the cloning, when the computer starts can´t find a bootable device. I read the Area-51 R5 manual to see if it its not compatible with a 2TB SSD, but could not find if its compatible or not? Can anyone give me some advice if the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD is compatible with an Area-51 R5? Or is there a limit of 1TB? Or if it is compatible give some ideas on why after cloning the drive it does not find a bootable drive? It just try to start but after a while I tells me that it can´t find a bootable device. Regards,
Area-51 R5, new Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD
