It will. It's how I back up 3 TB in 2 separate chunks on 2 TB drives.

No issues doing it that way. It's been a while, but at least this is non-destructive, so you have little risk of causing any problems as long as you're careful with your cloning and choose the right devices!

However looking at the Macrium knwoledge base it looks like its just as easier to Identify what folders I want to backup, create backup file, Drop that backup on to the new SSD and then rename its a D: and rename the older HDD to E: or F:.

I was going through it and could not find where I could pick and choose which folders to back up and how to make a image of said folders. I could clone the whole drive or I could mark a folder for back up but neither is what I want to do.
Can someone walk me through the process or direct me to some knowledge base article that shows me how?
