Acronis True Image WD Edition: anyone tried?
anyone tried the Acronis True Image WD Edition? it's made especially for WD drives (duh), but i wonder if anyone had good experiences with it?
...as if all go well, i'll migrate my stuff from this 500gb WD5000AADS to this WD10EALS which have a constant 7200rpm instead of the Green series screwing up the Load/Unload Cycles counts, it's already over 1000 for me right now, so i'll probably use this one afterward for backup.
I think this tool does the same thing as Migrate Easy, but with more options inside.

Acronis TrueImage
I've used the version that came with the Kingston 40GB SSD (same as the Intel 40GB) and I'm assuming the software is the same as the one WD gave you.
The user interface wasn't as straightforward as I'd like for controlling partition sizes but I haven't had any problem with copying entire partitions (even bootable Windows XP partitions).

It works fine. Both Western Digital and Seagate have branded versions of Acronis TrueImage. Both Seagate's Disc Wizard and Western Digital's Acronis True Image WD Edition are free downloads. They both validate by checking if you have one of the company's models of disk drive in the system. The qualifying drive does not have to involved in the clone or other operations.
