Cloning the hard drive can be done with a tool such as SuperDuper! Or Carbon Copy Cleaner, or with Apple's own Disk Utility program.However, you can easily overcome such situations of data loss by keeping a clone copy of your Mac hard drive. If the drive with many of your extremely important business documents and personal files fail, the loss is simply beyond explanation. Apart from being old, there are lots many other reasons including mechanical, electrical and firmware failure, which can make your Mac hard drive crash. Your hard drive may be new or probably from the best manufacturer, but you can never guaranty 'It won't fail'.
Put the new SSD in the dock, connected dock to MacBook Pro, but the SSD was not being recognised at all in Finder or in Disk Utility. The original HDD was still working (but painfully slow), so i had intended to use a SATA III to USB3.0 dock to clone the HDD to the new SSD prior to removing the old HDD and installing the SSD. Clone of hard drive saves your precious data under physical/logical disk failure.Ĭamera live mac os.
