avoid dd with SSD drives as the wear leveling will only see the one big block, which defeats the function of wear leveling. You want to use something like scp so the drives wear leveling will work on the many individual files - ie for SSD drives, many small is better than singular big for leveling. other than that, something Mac specific is likely best at catching anything extra special that may be done for that vendors partitions. > >> On Nov 21, 2014, at 1:53 PM, Tim Shubitz <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Morgan, >> I’m a Carbon Copy Cloner fan. >> >> Not the cheapest tool but it’s really well done. >> >> >> - tim >> >> >>> On Nov 21, 2014, at 3:38 PM, Morgan Blackthorne <[email protected]> >>> wrote: >>> >>> I'm picking up an SSD for my MacBook since I caught a pre-Black Friday >>> sale.
