How to transfer both Mac and Windows partitions to new SSD

Use Winclone to move the Windows install over and the free 30 day trial version of Carbon Copy Cloner to move the OS X side of things over.
I've used iPartition from Coriolis multiple times with success, although I sometimes have to run recovery from the Windows install disk to get the cloned Windows partition to boot after copying. I think the recovery requirement has only been the case when consolidating my Windows and Mac partitions to one internal drive instead of two, or vice-versa.
The advantage of iPartition is that the Mac partition is also cloned instead of a file-by-file copy as done by Carbon Copy Cloner.
I also use iPartition to make clones to an external drive for complete image backups.
