ssd sector size?

Question

Hard disks

Hello everyone, such a question. I have a system and drive C: a 120 GB ssd is allocated, I bought a new ssd, since 120 is not enough for me. Using the program Macrium ReflectI want to clone the C: drive from the old ssd to the new one. But the problem is that the program does not allow cloning, since the sector size (!) on the old ssd is 512 bytes, on the new one it is 4Kb, how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Use another program.
A sector is part of a circle, a round magnetic plate.
There is nothing round in the SSD and, accordingly, there are no sectors.
There work with pages. The size of one page is usually from 4Kb to 32Kb.
The size of the "sector" there is a purely virtual value - just a number that the SSD reports to the host. As a rule, 4kb, I have not seen another.

Answer 2

All screws since 2011 come with 4 kb sectors. You seem to have a very old SSD.
You need to clone not a disk sector by sector, but partitions (a file system where not sectors but clusters / blocks), and they are most likely already 4k, and even if not, they easily move to another standard size.
Check how you are trying to clone. Perhaps it's better to use acronis (just don't install it, just run one-time livecd from some thread)
And if there is not so much software, then it's even better to install the system from scratch.
