So I've just bought a laptop which has an available mSATA-slot, and I plan on installing a Crucial M500 240 GB mSSD in the laptop. With how Windows keys on laptops work nowadays, I'm planning on just cloning the HDD over to the mSSD with Acronis True Image 2014. But I've heard of people experiencing problems with partitions not being aligned and that causing the SSD to get a huge hit on performance. So I just wanted to ask if this is something that the software I plan on using accounts for, and if someone has done a similar upgrade and has some useful tips to share?
