Samsung Data Migration Failed

By | July 8, 2016

As we know, more and more users choose to transfer the operating system from normal hard disk to SSD to shorten the boot time and enhance the performance of computer. And, some Samsung users always use Samsung Data Migrations software to complete this OS migration. However, this software does not work as well as we image, and many people begin to doubt the program. Besides, this software only works with Samsung SSD. Let’s see a real-life example:

I’m trying to clone my HDD onto a Samsung 840 EVO ssd. I’ve tried the Samsung Data Migration tool, but I keep getting an error about 20 seconds in, saying the clone had failed and giving me the following code: 400230 [061b66]. I called Samsung and the guy said they don’t support Windows 8.1, so he basically gave me the run around. I downloaded EaseUS, but it won’t recognize that I’ve got an SSD connected (I’m using a sata/usb cable to connect it). Any thoughts? Help would be greatly appreciated.
