I was the last person on a SATA drive in my house -- because I had so many
videos and MP3s, I didn't want to pay for a 1TB or larger SSD. I bought a
Synology NAS, which I've talked about before, and moved my media to the RAID
array on the NAS - which lets me stream media from DLNA devices in the house
and puts the media on a more resilient drive.

After moving the media, I defragged the drive and got everything moved to
the front of the disk, thinking I might make a Linux partition on it. I
ended up with 190GB on a 3TB drive.

I had a 480GB SSD drive in an old laptop, and thought instead I'd shrink the
SATA partition then clone it to the SSD.

I found Macrium Reflect, it's a free bit of disk cloning software.

*Without* shrinking the source partition and without having to boot into a
special environment, I was able to make the SSD bootable and create a
partition the size of the SSD with the data from the 3TB partition. Very
cool having one less (potentially data-destructive) step to moving data.

Many SSDs have a SATA interface.. Are you thinking of SATA platter drives vs. m.2 SSDs?

Yes, I meant to say "Spinning Rust". :)
