    This would have been perfect for the 250GB Samsung 840 SSD. Key words being "would have".

      Doesn't Samsung Wizard let you do this?

  • alvian on 03/09/2013 - 20:42

    Anybody knows what this is?

    AFD drives

  • alvt on 03/09/2013 - 20:52

    I'm getting empty emails from them. Has the promotion run out or is it some error on their part?

  • redcreek200 on 03/09/2013 - 20:54

    Thanks OP !
    Going to replace my ssd soon, so this'll be handy.

  • bpdoz on 03/09/2013 - 20:59

    What is the difference between the compact version and the pro version?

  • WatchNerd on 03/09/2013 - 21:25

    Reinstalling windows is a good idea anyway as it slows down over time.

      I was just about to say this! But honestly, the features of a good hard drive utility can't be overlooked when needed.

    • Jackson on 04/09/2013 - 00:54

      Installing Linux is an even better idea

    • Jikx on 04/09/2013 - 07:36

      Use to be the case say in the Windows 95/98 era.. But I have a Windows XP install that's been chugging along for 7 years, and another that's been running Windows 7 since release date.

      With this in mind, these disk utilities I have used because the disk drives die faster than the OS now lol.. You hear the clicking you do the imaging.

      • SambaL on 04/09/2013 - 22:18

        Nope, still happens. If you take good care of your OS (defragment, cleaning up), yes, that will help, but the fact still remains that your registry gets clogged up over time with junk, undeleted keys, corrupt ones and keys that are missing. This ofcourse also has a lot to do with how one uses his or her PC.

        I am currently in the process of doing a reinstall. My Win 7 laptop isn't as responsive and reliable as he used to be back when i first got him, so migrating my current build seems unwise. Sometimes it's just best to start fresh …especially when you just got yourself a new SSD drive. =p

        • uccoffee on 05/09/2013 - 14:02

          i think depends, win 7 or above usually wont slow down as much as windows XP , unless you are using a 3+ years old machine which is time to buy a new one :D

          I think OSX is even worse, slow down sooo much compare with a fresh one even it is a 18 months old machine :( need to reinstall the OSX once a year ~

  • Iceman82 on 03/09/2013 - 21:55

    Just starting installing and it asks for a product key and serial. Won't install without it.

    However, the email says

    "Download using the link above and install the software.

    No registration code is needed to unlock this software."

    What's going on?!?

    • Vladdo on 03/09/2013 - 22:05

      You need to click the 'registration' button on the product/serial screen. It then took me to a webpage to fill in my name/email.. I got a serial instantly once I filled out the form..

      • Iceman82 on 03/09/2013 - 22:11

        yep, too easy.

        Thanks mate

      • rockycape on 04/09/2013 - 08:43

        from the commments here http://www.bitsdujour.com/software/paragon-drive-copy-12-com…

        After downloading the product you should register it to get your Serial and the Product Key. Please Click "Registration" button in the installation window, fill in the form and you'll receive your registration data via e-mail.

      • mskeggs on 04/09/2013 - 10:41

        I can't install it yet. What is the registration url so I can get a key?
        Edit: Vladdo posted the URL below. Thanks.

  • shopking1 on 03/09/2013 - 22:23

    Download link missing in email. Still says deal is running for another 18hr. Can anyone provide a link to the downloaded software. Thanks

  • Kamsi on 03/09/2013 - 22:25

    If the program does it what it suppose to do than it will be awesome, atm downloading.

    Cheers.

    fyi, hotmail.com & outlook.com accounts appear to be blocked from receiving the serial emails. www.guerrillamail.com works fine.

  • ModaMagic on 03/09/2013 - 23:35

    This was great with my transition from Raptor drive to SSD.

  • Snoop on 03/09/2013 - 23:39

    Will have to do it in the morning… Don't think it'll work on the iPad! ;)

    • bunnybash on 04/09/2013 - 01:40

      Hopefully it recovers from being hit so badly by oz bargain! The website isn't even showing the cached version!

      • safetest100 on 04/09/2013 - 03:41

        Uh-oh, Something isn't working right. We've dispatched our squad of techies to track it down!

        Please click 'Back' and try again.

    Great to see you guys all enjoying the deal!

    Sorry for the earlier slowness on the site - we brought on new servers to handle the increased load. It's our busiest day ever.

    The site should be running super-quick now.

    An alternative to this if you don't mind creating a bootable USB/CD is CloneZilla.

  • montemaj on 04/09/2013 - 08:33

    Hi guys, newbie question here. My current drive is already making clicking sounds. If I backup all the drive using this software and install a new drive to my laptop, will restoring the backup image to the new drive will make all my installed software work like in the original drive or do I need to re-install software apps again to work ?

  • saray on 04/09/2013 - 08:53

    Hi rep..Received an email without download link..

  • ticket65 on 04/09/2013 - 09:05

    Hi, does anyone know if the software has to be registered within the 'special deal' period? I have the serial key but I wanted to register it when I get home from work tonight - which is after the offer has expired.

    Thanks.

  • Grok on 04/09/2013 - 10:10

    I have the email, anyway to get the serial without installing it?

    I just want to have the serial for a rainy day, plus I am on an iPad or the next 8 hours.

    Will this help with my issue? http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/115071
    Ignore it being a Samsung SDD, but any SDD in general. I want to install an SSD as a boot drive, instead of my current HDD

  • bunnybash on 04/09/2013 - 18:46

    site is still getting smashed…

  • OBEY YOUR MASTERS on 05/09/2013 - 09:33

    Looks like they've extended the free deal for a few more hours. Couldn't finish the download yesterday and still can't today :( Can the file be obtained anywhere else?

  • rgirardo on 05/09/2013 - 23:33
