Introduzione
You will be using Carbon Copy Cloner for this guide. Cloning a Hard Drive or a Solid State Drive is about as easy as it gets with CCC. Sadly, CCC is only available to macOS users and is not compatible with Linux or Windows. Sometime soon I will create a guide for Windows and Linux users.
Cosa ti serve
-
-
Download Carbon Copy Cloner from the Bombich Software Website.
-
Install it onto your macOS based computer. You will need administrator privileges later, as well as to move CCC into the Applications folder on your computer.
-
-
-
Once you are at the main screen of Carbon Copy Cloner, insert your SATA based SSD/SSHD/HDD into your enclosure and plug it into your Mac.
-
Under Source Disk, click your current HD/SSD. For example, my current drive is named "Macintosh SSD".
-
-
-
-
Next, select your Target Disk. My target disk is named "Ubuntu". Your disk can have any type of name ex. "Pie".
-
-
-
Lastly, click Clone.
-
Enter your administrator Username
-
Enter your administrator Password
-
Then finally, click OK
-
After you finish, install your new Hard Drive/Solid State Drive and test if it works. If it does not, try cloning again. If it still does not work after that, leave a comment and I will try my best to support you.

What if you have several volumes on each disk ? Does it scan the entire structure and boot options ?
CCC clones per volume, not per disk. So you have to clone each volume on their own, how many are bootable?

What about using Restore on Disk Utility read on web that this in itself a cloning method don’t have to go for 3rd party apps
Unfortunately that method has some glitches for some users. (Like myself) see error OSStatus error 22
I’ve used Restore from Disk Utility and it worked very well. First boot with Cmd-R held down. Make sure to Unmount internal and external drives, then select Restore blank drive from old one.
Thanks for writing the guide! Will this clone be ready to once I insert the clone drive in? Should I make a boot disk?
I am trying to bypass the 6 digit pin on my macbook pro. I purchased it as an open box at Best Buy and after a break in at my home, marked the computer lost/stolen. Well I got it back but after months of it being gone, I forgot the pin I set. Because I am not the original owner, Apple will not help me even though I have proof of purchase. This is so frustrating and I need someone to help me.
Aaron, Please post the version info for the app you used.
