What is disk cloning and why need disk cloning software?

Disk cloning is the process of creating an exact copy of a source disk to destination disk. The destination disk can be an HDD, SSD, or any other compatible storage medium. This process is typically performed using specialized cloning software. Common use cases for disk cloning include:
    1. Upgrade your hard drive to an SSD for better performance.
    2. Upgrade your hard drive to a larger one when your drive is running out of space.
    3. Replace your old hard drive with a new one to avoid data loss from its hardware failure.
    4. Create a full disk image backup.

The purpose of disk cloning software is to create a copy of the source disk on the destination disk, ensuring the data on the two disks are exactly the same. Professional disk cloning software usually provides two cloning modes: fast/standard disk cloning and sector-by-sector disk cloning. Fast/Standard Disk Clone only clones the used sectors by files on the source disk. This method is very fast and allows you to adjust the size of the destination partition. Sector-by-sector disk cloning copies all sectors on the source disk to the destination disk one by one, regardless of whether it contains data. This process is slower and does not allow you to resize the destination partition. However, it creates an exact, bit-for-bit copy of the source partition.
