Please advise a program to transfer data from HDD to SSD. Since the volume of the hard disk is larger than the volume of the SSD, it is necessary that the program allows you to select folders / files for transfer and knows how to align blocks.

Googling found Paragon Migrate OS to SSD and Acronis True Image . Perhaps there are some more. So far I'm leaning towards the solution from Paragon. The cost of the program does not really matter, but I would like something small and convenient.

I recommend Paragon Migrate OS to SSD.
At one time, I also had the same problem.
Here on Habré I found a post about this program, where in the comments people criticized it, like the program is not needed, all the same can be done with a set of various free utilities, etc.
In general, I fooled around with these utilities and other programs for about three hours.
Then he got sick and transferred everything with a paragon in 30 minutes.
In general, if you want to save time, take a paragon.
ps I do not advise you to take Norton Ghost, Acronis TrueImage and other similar programs if they do not directly indicate ssd support, because. they are for hdd. As far as I understand, it is necessary not only to transfer the data byte-to-byte, but also to perform aligment and some OS settings for the ssd disk.

The solution from Acronis is the most popular, in my opinion. Just meets your requirements.

In general, the topic is very intelligibly disclosed in this series of articles - I was guided by them.

I use Symantec Ghost - cheap and cheerful. You can boot from Hiren's BootCD, Ghost is available there, and much more.

Samsung Data Migration did it silently without question :)
