I am trying to clone my 1TB spinning disk to my 256GB NVM disk.

1) Can I do that? (Drive size looks like an issue.)
2) If so, what driver do I need to load to recognize the Samsung SSD 950 PRO NVMe 256GB?

thnx

It might work if you are sure the used blocks on the source disk are all within the boundary of the destination disk.

It's recommended to use the latest Clonezilla live, even the testing one. They come with newer Linux kernel so they might support your hardware better.
