FarStone Increases SSD Performance and Life Span “by Up to 20%”

As the price of SSDs continues to decline, it triggers more people to migrate their computers to SSDs. With DriveClone from FarStone Technology, Inc., the SSD disk migration process is easy, automatic, optimal and space saving.

DriveClone migrates and clones eveything important on HDD

“DriveClone’s Smart Disk Cloning and Perfect Defrag features will increase SSD and HDD performance and extend their life span,” said Peter Lin, product manager, FarStone.

Main two reasons to use DriveClone as migration software:

• Defragmentation: It performs its defragmentation on-the-fly during the data migration, which allows the new drive to be compacted and function as efficiently as possible. Data from memory are transferred to the new storage system during the data migration, essentially not transferring any fragmentations from the old drives to the new drives. For HDD drive, the newly compacted drive reduces fragmentation, decrease R/W overheads, and ultimately increase the drive’s performance and life span. For SSD, the fragmentation is performed prior to data migration, thus the defragmentation process will not negatively impact SSD’s life span but will increase its performances.
• Smart Cloning: DriveClone excludes unnecessary files from cloning, such as Windows and browser temp files, hard link files, and swapping files; on average, it saves between 10GB-70GB drive space and cloning time. Smart cloning is important for SSD migration where disk space is essential.

Other key features of DriveClone:

• Allows user to keep working during migration process
• Cloned disk is bootable
• Volume and sector-by-sector cloning
• Universal cloning
• Mirror Drive
• Defrag Cloning
• Incremental Cloning

TotalRecovery USB
FarStone disk cloning and migration process can also be run in pre-OS (FarStone Recovery Manager) with Total Recovery Tools USB. No installation is required; it is a handy tool-set for business and cases where booting into Windows is unavailable.
