Then, let’s see how to fix the “how to fix Samsung Data Migration stuck at 0%, 99%, or 100%” issue.

Samsung Data Migration Stuck at 0%, 99%, or 100%

Fix 1: Verify Your Cable Connection

Due to your SATA/USB cable connection, the transfer process may be interrupted during data migration. Thus, to fix the “Samsung Data Migration stuck at 0%, 99%, or 100%,” issue, you need to verify that the SATA/USB is properly connected.

If they are connected correctly and the problem persists, you can easily plug the HDD SATA cable into another motherboard port, or try another SATA cable. If it still doesn’t work then you have to move the USB drive to another port.

Fix 2: Check Your HDD and SSD

If your hard drive is damaged, data transfers from a failed hard drive are likely to get stuck and not complete. The chkdsk command checks the health of internal and external storage devices attached to your computer. Here is how to do that:

Step 1: Type cmd in the Search box and choose Run as administrator.

Step 2: Then, type chkdsk /f /x and press the Enter key.

Step 3: Follow the on-screen prompts to complete this operation. After that, you can restart your computer and see if the “Samsung Data Migration stuck at 0%, 99%, or 100%” has been fixed or not.

Fix 3: Check Your Target Disk Space

Another factor that can make your transfer appear to be stuck is that the destination drive may be too full to receive any more data. To be on the safe side, it’s recommended you transfer no more than 75% of the destination drive’s total free space.

Fix 4: Check the Data Capacity of the Files You’re Transferring

You have to pay attention to your data file size and partition. If your Samsung Data Migration is not responding during the transfer, make sure that you don’t move multiple large files or partitions at once. Large data transfers can cause bugs and glitches in the program. Try to transfer your files into smaller batches.

Fix 5: Update Samsung Data Migration

Samsung has rolled out a new update for its data migration tool, and you should always make sure you have the latest version. If you are using an older version of Samsung Data Migration, this may be the reason for the issue.

You can try to update Samsung Data Migration to the latest version to fix the “Samsung Data Migration stuck at 0%, 99%, or 100%” issue. The steps are as follows:

Step 1: Go to the Samsung official website.

Step 2: Under Data Migration, select Samsung Data Migration software for consumer SSD.

Step 3: Click the DOWNLOAD button on the right of the latest Data Migration Software package.
