New WD SN850 M.2, why?

Yeah I tried;

Macrium Reflect
Acronis
EaseUS

And none of these worked. How can you fuck-up a clone? I follow instructions to the letter, and when I try and boot from the drive I cloned to, I'm rewarded with a fucking Bloo-screen. Fuck that. From now on I'll do it the old fashioned fucking old way and just do a clean OS/driver install. I have to take a few xtra few minutes, but I know for a fact it won't fuck up. Seriously un-fucking real.
Odd, I used macrium on a test bench ssd and had no problems. Used acronis on my main PC without issue as well. It only gets tricky when you are using a bootloader for 2+ windows installs.

Nope, only one. I then swap drives so windows doesn't get all bill-bowie confused as to which C- drive it's going to boot from. No joy.

I'm about to use macrium on my main PC again. Swapping some drives out. Hopefully all goes well.
 
Theres a 7 page thread about the sn850 not living up to its r/w speeds for some reason on some people's rigs at tpu. It may be something worth checking out.

Yeah I checked that out. Sadly it still doesn't fix the issue. A new firmware update is not available.

Were they free editions or licensed? I’m sure it’s Bitlocker and I think most don’t deal with it unless you have the paid version. Macrium paid version worked great for me.

These are paid versions. Bitlocker is disabled.

Huh. Contact their support asking for a refund, they'll ask what is up - and they will help you and if things don't get better, offer you an insane discount. That's how I got Minitool Partition Wizard Pro Ultimate for 75% off. That is, assuming you're under the initial 30 days from purchase.
