It's only faster if your disk is almost fully used. If you have a lot of free disk space your method is doing a dumb clone of unused space. So it's argueable which method is faster ;) Your method neither allows changing of partition sizes nor a change on the underlying filesystems. Maybe it's worth thinking about about another filesystem, when you switch from classic HDD to SSD. Cheers Andreas
