Cloning a Serial HD to a SSD
My main boot drive on a desktop failed to start up with a SMART failure notification. I removed the drive and put it on another desktop system that contained the AOMEI backupper Professional program and tried to disk clone the drive to a 500 GB SSD drive. The data was readable on the old drive. It is a 600gb drive.
The SSD drive was blank but allocated. I started the cloning process and it went thru the checking and then moving data up to about 85% of completing the moving (65gb of 70gb). The overall progress was 32%. The program froze at that point with no error message or recovery. I have canceled 3 times and restarted to get the same result.

Before throwing that away, you can look at some Youtube videos on HDD repair. Good luck.
