I have been trying to upgrade Beomaster HD to SSD for quite long time. Funny thing is I can clone my original (1TB) drive to another 3.5 inch without any problems, but could not succeed cloning to Samsung  EVO and Pro. After start would get booth error etc.

There have been write-ups about this, basically most posts said - it cannot be done. Some guys recommended Crucial SSD ......... saying this is the only drive could work.

I have contacted Samsung and was told that the issue is with cloning software, cloning software guys said - Samsung drive is at fault. I have tried few cloning software including Acronis, Aomei, Macrium Reflect, Drive Clone etc. all attempts failed.

Reading one of the forums someone recommend EaseUS Todo Backup Free ... and to my surprise cloning worked - I have cloned original drive to Samsung EVO 1Tb (sector by sector - there are two options in the software , do not remember exactly what the second is - if you try select both) - and for the last 3 days everything is working as a charm.

If someone would want to try, please let me/us know if I am just being lucky or the issue is with cloning software. I will monitor and let you know if my luck will continues.

Regards

I have bought a Crucial MX100 512GB SSD and a Deleycon Cloner today.

They should arrive by Friday and then hopefully I can clone the original B&O HDD to the SSD.

All I want is for it to even boot up once and then I will "Start Recovery Process" straight away. This will resolve and clear any restart/booting issues.

Will update you by the end of the week :)

Hi

Thanks for this I can see it now.

Unfortunately, I do not have the Beomaster Service Tool on USB. I did not receive this with my Beomaster/Beosound 5.

I will be using the Deleycon Cloner to clone the original HDD to the new SSD.

Should the Service Tool USB have come with the Beomaster/Beomaster 5?

I have just told my dealer that I should have received the Beomaster Maintenance Tool on a copywrite protected USB.

Will update you on what he says.

Hi

Good luck with your project. What I know only crucial MX100 drive worked for few, so please let me know the outcome.

The tool is available (or should be) through B&O distributors but I had no luck to put my hands on one ..

Best regards

Hi

I have tried crucial MX300 1050GB with Sharkoon QuickPort XT Duo Clone and my original HDD 1TB. Cloning will not start. Maybe the SSD needs to be formatted in some way. What format do you propose? I have tried Fat32 - no start. But with that, the SDD shows 986 GB wich is less then the HDD.

Maybe it now doesn't start because the SSD is too small??

Every hint is most welcome!
