Hi all,

I’ve recently purchased an MC200, which currently has a 1TB mechanical HDD installed (this could be 10 to 15 years old and maybe coming to the end of its life). I’m planning to upgrade it to a 2TB SSD, most likely a SanDisk 2TB drive.

My intention is to use Macrium Reflect to clone the existing HDD directly to the SSD. Since I don’t have sufficient storage space available for a disk image, I plan to connect both drives to my laptop using USB-to-SATA adapters and perform a direct disk-to-disk clone.

As the replacement drive has a larger capacity, is there anything specific I need to do during or after the cloning process to ensure the MC200 recognises and utilises the full 2TB capacity of the SSD? For example, will I need to resize the partition(s) manually, or should Macrium Reflect handle this automatically?

The MC200 will be integrated into my Meridian system, which currently comprises DSP5200.2 speakers, an AC200, an MSR+, and a laptop as the digital source, which shall be replaced by the MC200 and iPad.

Any advice or recommendations from those who have carried out a similar upgrade would be greatly appreciated, as I don't wish to lose any of the music I have stored on the existing drive.

Many thanks.
