Cloning PCIe-based SSD - 02/19/17 03:48 AM
For years I've been cloning MBP's (spinning drives) to FW 800 drives (spinning drives).
I may soon enter the world of Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) with a 2017 MBP 15, having a 1TB PCIe-base SSD. ...Given the MBP only has USB-C ports, I'm considering using a G-Tech G-Drive USB-C External (7200rpm) HD for clones.
Can a PCIe-based SSD be cloned to an external, spinning drive (like the G-Drive)?
Can anyone confirm Superduper! v2.9.1 (macOS 10.12.3 compatible) will clone and the result will be bootable, enabling a reinstall of the external clone (from a spinning drive) back to the internal SSD? (I've emailed Dave Nanian; so, I'll update when I receive his reply.)
