[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1652461, member: 175845"] I have always used as Slydude suggests with his #2 suggestion in post #6, with the addition of doing a one-pass secure erase or one-pass zero out on a HDD before cloning back with CCC. But I guess that doesn't always apply these days as only the traditional (100%) hard drives (not "Fusion Drives" or "Hybrids") can be securely erased, and nothing that has any flash memory. PS: Doing so also maps out any bad blocks so it should always be done when possible. [/QUOTE]
