Hi,

The evening before last, I used Macrium Reflect on my laptop to clone the 1TB mechanical HDD from my MC200 onto a 2TB SanDisk SSD. When I returned home from work yesterday evening, the cloning process had completed successfully, so I installed the SSD into the MC200.

After powering up the MC200, everything worked perfectly. I was able to access my music library from my iPad without any issues, and the system felt noticeably more responsive, presumably due to the faster access speeds of the SSD.

I then accessed the MC200 from my laptop using its IP address to check the drive capacity. To my surprise, the drive was reported as 1TB rather than the expected 2TB.

As the MC200 is Linux-based, is there a configuration step or setting required for it to recognise and use the full 2TB capacity of the SSD?

If not, I'm wondering whether the issue lies with the cloning process. Macrium Reflect offers a Forensic Sector Copy mode, which creates an exact sector-by-sector copy of the source drive, including unused sectors and deleted data. Would using this mode make any difference, or is there another cloning application that would produce a clone that the MC200 recognises as a full 2TB drive?

One point worth mentioning is that, during the cloning setup, Macrium Reflect correctly identified the destination SanDisk SSD as a 2TB drive. In the graphical cloning interface, the partitions from the 1TB source drive were copied across exactly as expected, but the remaining space on the destination drive was left unallocated. Macrium did not offer an option to expand the final partition to fill the additional space, so I assumed the Linux-based MC200 would automatically recognise and make use of the remaining capacity after installation.

To summarise, the cloned SSD works perfectly, but only as a 1TB drive. I would be very grateful for any advice on whether this can be resolved by reconfiguring the existing installation, expanding the partition, or by repeating the cloning process using different settings or alternative software.

Many thanks.
