The intel that came with the 9020 Optiplex is getting slow for some reason...So i copied it over to a Samsung 871 ( Dell Oem part# for something like an 870 or something I believe) onto a Dell Precision 3630.
Funny thing is it seemed to copy over the Stammer, stutter.....for opening files on other drives. Not sure what that is about. But I'm not in a position to do a clean install, as my Quickbooks, for my business is on this drive. Maybe on a slow night in December....
I've faced this twice in the last year when I wanted to clone existing HDD's over to SSD's that were running but "impaired." On both I tried running CHKDSK and then SFC /SCANNOW from an elevated (admin) command prompt but it didn't fix issues (100% disk access in Task Manager) even though it said it did.
I then removed the spinners, placed on my external USB dock and repeated the process using my Win 10 PC. It fixed both of them, I confirmed good running back in the PC's so then I was able to use
Macrium Reflect Free Edition to clone them to SSD's. The repaired PC's ran everything great.....Quickbooks, MS Office 2019, etc. The biggest difference I could tell on the repaired PC's was boot up time from cold went from about 2 minutes to 20 seconds and opening QB went from 90 seconds to 15 seconds.....nice!
I do Win 10 clean install with the MS Media Creation Tool on a USB flash drive whenever possible, they run the best but cloning is OK when it would it would be a huge hassle to re-install a bunch of licensed s/w on some clerk's municipal government PC.
I've installed about 12 Samsung 860 and 870 SSD's in the last 2 years, also one WD Blue SSD. I've got a Kingston 64GB that's about 7 years old and a Sandisk 240GB that's about 6. I've only installed 2.5" form factor to date and all and still going. IMO, installing a good SSD is the single best upgrade you can do, I prefer it even over more RAM or even possibly the trouble and expense of a upgraded CPU. For now, Samsung 870 EVO 2.5" is my go-to.
