SSD Data Migration

This tool delivers a domain-focused migration calculator for planning data moves between SSDs, with emphasis on Samsung devices. It accepts capacities, data_size, and copy method to produce a practical migration plan. By modeling how much space and time a copy will require, it helps avoid over- or under-provisioning before you start a real copy.
Core logic includes validating inputs, computing overhead based on copy method, and producing time and space estimates. Optional integrity checks and multi-disk migrations extend applicability to data-center refreshes. The tool clearly differentiates sector-by-sector copying, which increases both data footprint and time, from file-level copying, which can shorten the process when hidden data is excluded. Outputs include recommended copy method, estimated transfer duration, and required free space for a safe operation.
Use cases include upgrading a smaller SSD to a larger one, replacing a standard SATA drive with an NVMe model, and planning a wipe-and-replace cycle in IT environments. Unique value lies in explicit capacity planning, method selection, and a formal risk score based on data type and drive age. The tool also provides a migration checklist and an export option to share the plan with stakeholders.
