Hi there, I’m considering buying the WD Black Squared drive (link provided). I currently have a 500GB hard drive that’s nearly full, and I’d like to avoid reducing it below 120GB for cloning. Most of my space is taken up by Steam games. I’m wondering if it’s possible to move the boot partition and selected programs/games to the SSD side of the WD drive, then copy the remaining data to the 1TB drive. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

You need to reduce your operating system size to 120GB or below for the transfer to work with the SSD. One reviewer mentioned the HDD section won’t appear until WD’s special software is set up. It might be better to handle the drives individually.
