I used Seagate DiscWizard. I saved some of the stuff on the HD before deleting partitions and formatting.
Says 8MB NAND Flash on it, just checking that this is correct.

8MB Flash might be right, buffer appears to be 64 MB
Ive cleared it and have 500 gb now... Probably screwed it up. Anyway i will try and clone it... Ive got easeus but dunno if its the best available.
Dunno about flash memory or where to find it.. I didnt save the stuff on it so maybe i should have doh.
Panic over then!
Flash memory, it's written on the label! lol. No need to do anything, just use as ordinary HD.
I prefer DiscWizard to Easus, but that's just a personal preference.
I have stuff from the new drive if you ever need it. I shall have a look to what it is.
Should it be optimised for ssd or sector by sector
Don't know, suspect sector by sector. Not cloned to mine yet.
Picked s by s. Its started, but no idea how long it will take. Usb 2 should managed it theoretically in 2 hrs, as its dojng about 250mb, but i will believe that when i see it
I have 191 GB to do, will probably take about 25 min USB 3.0 or SATA
Was initially hopeful as it did 5% in 6 mins, but its still 5% doh. Ive taken all the sleep functions off so it can just run and see later.
Let me know if , or should say when yours is up.
I tried several cloning software offerings, some seemed very slow. Usually use DiscWizard (free), sometimes R-Drive, paid for.
Mine been copying 11 minutes, says 12 Min to go, that's about what I would expect.
At the end I will then boot (try!) from the new SSHD. Will time it too, see if it;s quicker that the conventional HD. Apparently, it takes a few boots to learn what to use to the flash memory for.
