Okay, I'm thinking about installing a new hdd into my MBP. I've never swapped out a drive in one of my computers simply because I need more space so I've never used a proper method of installing the current volume onto the new drive - I've always used Carbon Copy Cloner or Timemachine etc. The problem with those apps is that they don't really preserve all of the data - I always have to reset my snitch preferences etc.
So to those people who have swapped out drives for reasons other than a corrupted drive, what is the best method of moving the volume onto the new drive.
I have a SATA USB enclosure so my plan was to put the new drive in the enclosure, connect it, and using something - hopefully better than CCC or Timemachine - transfer the volume onto the new drive, and then physically put it in.
Does anyone know a really good way to swap drives???
