Imation SSD Upgrade Kit debuts

There are a few issues that you have to plan for when you are moving from a HDD or SSD to a new and larger SSD. The first thing is exactly how you will get the data you need off your existing drive to the new drive. The other thing is what to do with the old drive once the migration is complete.



Imation has unveiled a new SSD Upgrade Kit that lacks software or hardware for actually transferring the data to the new SSD. The kit does include an external enclosure so you can use your old drive as an external storage device once it is removed.

The kit includes the Imation M-class SSD with 10-bit SSD. The SSD promises sequential read and write speeds of 230MB/sec and 170MB/sec respectively. The upgrade kit sells for $194.99 and is available now.
