You can use the solid state drive as a traditional usb drive for backups. Try to get one with included software to make the cloning process easier. I had to make a backup disk, and it was a pain in the butt for me to figure out, but after that is done everything else is just so easy. I'm not a techy guy so I had to call the support guy for the company you mentioned. He sounds like Cristopher Walken. Lol
I love my solid state drive though and it really did make a huge difference in load times! Only a few seconds instead of minutes now!!!
