Cloning an SSD will copy all of the data from the source drive, including the operating system (OS) and all installed programs, files, and settings. Cloning generates an exact clone of the source drive on the target SSD, ensuring that everything, including the operating system, is carried across. This allows you to boot and use the cloned SSD while keeping all of your existing system configuration and software. Cloning may take more than 1 hour to several hours depending on the source data, storage type, computer speed etc.
