You will waste much more time trying to clone it than to just do a firmware load.
There is a proprietary file system for the main partition which no clone tools can interpret.

While I like the SSD (apart from my one drive crash and replacement), due to the long winded copying process involved in putting a lot of music and audio books on it I am leaning towards SD cards more and more. It is also a more practical solution as I can switch between the card and HD without losing my place in the story or sequence of music I am listening to. After the SSD crashed some years ago I have never copied the whole library back to the HD but then these days I don't drive for anywhere near the time I used to so it probably does not matter. If I had the original small drive still in it I would put music on the card because I can do that on a PC quickly, books and spoken material on the HD because there is less of it. A 64gb card will hold a lot of music even at 320 which is what I record at. Unless there is someone in the car with me I prefer to listen to books these days and now have several hundred and I doubt I will ever listen to all of them unless I spend many hours in the car driving very long trips on my own.
I thought a proper clone tool could clone anything.
Haven't tried the RNS-510, but have used clonezilla (open source) for PC. Requires the drives can at least be connected like internals to the machine used for cloning. Documentation says unsupported file systems will be copied block by block.
Yes you can do a block copy, but you can't alter the partition table so it's pointless. You will be stuck with the same partitions as you had on the old drive. I've tried manually editing the partition table (hex values) without success.

If clonezilla can recognise the file system, it will expand partitions as well as cloning.
Supports: (1) ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs, btrfs, f2fs and nilfs2 of GNU/Linux, (2) FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS of MS Windows, (3) HFS+ of Mac OS, (4) UFS of FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, (5) minix of Minix, and (6) VMFS3 and VMFS5 of VMWare ESX.
A german person has used it already on RNS-510

So SSD is installed (Kingston 64GB) without reinstalling FW. Made I have the following:
- RNS disassemble (instructions there are in the network)
- Hard drive connected via adapter to the PC
- SSD connected via an adapter to the PC
- Clonezilla installed on a USB stick and the PC over a USB stick and Clonezilla started
- the HDD together with MBR so Blockwise using Clonezilla copied to the SSD and well. currently, the SSD is 32GB when I soon again should aufspiele the FW are the remaining GB's available. the installation is then a difference like night and day now , The RNS now runs very smoothly. The service is now immediately, navigation nazu is as fast as the RNS315 :)
That says they copied the original drive with the partition sizes intact. They needed to reload the firmware to make use of the whole drive.

Although I managed to successfully clone my HDD using Acronis, I did eventually end up re-installing the firmware simply so that I could get a larger music partition, I'm using 5238 and it gave me about 30GB for music on a 64GB SSD after reloading the firmware.

The file system is 'Vienna Flash File System' according to the partition table entry itself.
If anyone knows how to work with it or knows a tool that recognizes it, you will be able to clone and expand partitions.
Otherwise just reload the firmware, this will recreate partitions in the correct sizes, but you will need to reload music and maps.
Hi, searching accross internet for help, my friend ****ed up his RNS510, he tryed to install new firmware but his battery died in middle of process, and his device couldn't start after. He tryed many things, and in end he did really stupid one, he pulled HDD from device, connected on his PC, and after trying couple things he formated it.. And after he did all that he called me to help him. But now i don't know is there any help for it? Maybe to find other RNS510 and to copy files from that HDD to his? Or is there another solution? Any help is appreciated, thanks. :)
