In fact, you can shrink the partition on the drive then use pretty much any cloning software - free or otherwise.

Whose SSD are you using? &nbsp;They might have the tool to clone/transfer the data from the larger drive to the SSDS.<br />
Check the vendor sites' support to see. What software they have to help in this.

Hi all<br />
<br />
Does anybody have any recommendations for cloning software for a larger drive to be cloned to a small capacity drive. The drives will also clone from a SATA to SDD drive.<br />
<br />
cheers<br />
