I just bought a SSD for my wife's 2009 Macbook Pro. I just wanted to know what you guys recommend for moving the data over.
I suppose there are 2 routes to take...
1) Put the new drive in an enclosure and use Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable clone of the current harddrive and then just put the new drive in the computer.
2) Install the new harddrive and put a fresh install of ML on the new harddrive then put the old drive in an enclosure and run Migration Assistant.
I think I am more comfortable with the clone option, because I have never used Migration Assistant and I am not sure if I trust it. On the other hand, Carbon Copy Cloner costs $40....
So what do you guys recommend? Is there another alternative that I didn't mention?
Thanks!
