I had a similar issue today with a 500GB 860 EVO that was physically installed on the 3rd SATA connector (SATA_2 on the MB) (original HDD on 1st (SATA_0); BD-R on 2nd (SATA_1)). I got the error "Error reading from disk 301001..." (or similar) within about 30-60 seconds of starting the clone operation. Once I saw this post, I switched the new SSD to the second SATA port (SATA_1) and everything seems to be copying fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687824761610358901.post-44732174733418112112017-12-17T19:22:45.023-07:002017-12-17T19:22:45.023-07:00I have just bought the 850 samsung and was having ...I have just bought the 850 samsung and was having the same problem with the error, so i unpluged one of the other samsung ssd and hooked the 850 up and unplug my external drive and ran the data migration program worked beautifuly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687824761610358901.post-24765072660841914462016-12-04T22:17:02.864-07:002016-12-04T22:17:02.864-07:00I'm glad you got things working for you.

If so, and you are still seeing problems with source and target disks in the migration software, will you try swapping the SATA connections at the motherboard level? (make sure the computer is powered off first, of course) <br /><br />Hopefully doing so will swap the drives appropriately for you to be able to do your clone.<br /><br />Good luck!That One Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960050789221425916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687824761610358901.post-19525148495935080012016-12-04T00:09:00.746-07:002016-12-04T00:09:00.746-07:00Hi, I am facing the same issue.

I was trying to clone an EVO 840 256GB SSD to a brand new 850 500GB SSD via a no-name USB adaptor (it's worked fine for a couple of years). I kept getting "...error...writing to Target Disk.". I even tried running the Data Migration program in Safe Mode (hint: Don't bother!).<br /><br />After coming across your blog, I opened the case (Desktop PC) and replaced the SSD on the DVD drive's connections. This then made the boot drive as Disk 1 and the new drive as Drive 2.<br /><br />IT'S WORKING!! :-)<br /><br />Interestingly, when I restarted the PC and before I launched the Data Migration program, Windows 7 informed me that it has successfully recognised and loaded drivers for the new 850 SSD. This had not happened when it was plugged in via the SATA/USB adaptor. I wonder if this was relevant??<br /><br />Thanks.<br />Chris<br />Brisbane, AustraliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871943224115400097noreply@blogger.com
