Cloning SSD to SSD

[SofaKing]

OK, so here's the deal. Got a newer, bigger SSD and I want to clone my current SSD's data onto the new SSD. What's the easiest, most reliable way to do this? Any program recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

I would use dd but clonezilla will be simpler for those who do not understand linux.

Just wanted to throw in another vote for clonezilla, been using it for years.

what about creating a system image w/ Windows 7?

I use GhostCast.

I really like Acronis, and many drives come with a free version. I've had mixed luck with all cloning software, but usually I'm trying to do something slightly more complicated when I experience failure.

There is another option, one I've not tried. You could backup your system with Windows Backup to an image, then boot from the Win install disk/rescue disk and restore the image to a new drive. I've been meaning to try it.

It's a way not the way.
