| From: Kevin Cozens via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | I have just used dd run under Linux when I have cloned drives in the past. | YMMV. Two problems I can imagine: - the two disks will have partitions with identical UUIDs. This isn't a good idea. The symptoms might be subtle. - if the geometry is different you might get a bad result. I generally find that disk sectors are 4k these days but 512 bytes on a USB disk. I don't know what an NVMe SSD presents as its blocksize. It might well be that Evan's USB thingee preserves the blocksize of the SSD. I don't know.
