What is the quickest and easiest way to clone my current SSD (system disk)? Is there also a USB cable for this disk, or does it also work via the 2nd internal slot?
Cloning would be possible with freeware tools, there is for example Macrium Reflect Free or the programme HDClone also as a free version, but I would not recommend this SSD, not even the model 990, both have various problems and they are also not good SSDs, there are better ones, even some that last longer.
The 990 in particular caused a lot of fuss in the first weeks of 2023 because it lost its health status very quickly, a new firmware stops this, but does not bring back the lost health.
My recommendation for a very fast and very good SSD:
1. Seagate FireCuda 530
2. solidigm P44 Pro
3. WD Black SN850X
These SSDs are all better than a 980 Pro.
