The time it takes to perform a Samsung data migration can vary depending on several factors, mainly data amount.
Samsung Data Migration (SDM) is designed to transfer data from an old hard drive to a new Samsung SSD. As for “how long does Samsung data migration take”, it is said that SDM can reach a speed of 130MB/s. Here are a few factors that can affect the duration:
►Data size: Generally speaking, a larger data amount will definitely cost more time.
►Transfer method: If you are using a wired connection, such as a USB or USB-C cable, the transfer speed may be faster compared to wireless methods such as WIFI or Bluetooth.
►Device performance: Newer devices with faster processors and flash storage tend to complete the migration more quickly.
What if you want to improve the data migration performance? Or just want to clone appointed partitions or sectors? Then Samsung data migration isn’t the best option for you. Well-performance cloning software is recommended to you, like AOMEI Backupper. It’s extremely fast and efficient since it only clones used sectors while skipping bad sectors.
