Samsung Data Migration v.2.0

Samsung Data Migration software is designed to help users quickly, easily, and safely migrate all of their data ­ including their current operating system, application software, and user data ­ from an existing SSD or HDD storage device to their new Samsung SSD. Available exclusively for Samsung SSDs, this powerful, easy to use software takes the guesswork and headache out of moving operating systems and data to a new SSD.

Samsung Data Migration v.2.0

Samsung Data Migration software uses a simple three-step migration process. Its smart data analysis feature automatically scans the user¹s existing storage device, recognizes the presence of large files, and suggests next steps for a successful migration.

When users have more data than SSD capacity, Samsung Data Migration 2.0 automatically recommends advanced options for deleting unnecessary data or moving excess data (media or image files) to an external drive before migrating data to the SSD.

Samsung Data Migration software is included with all Samsung SSD purchases and also can be downloaded at: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/ ... loads.html
