dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda bs=8096 count=100 conv=sync,noerror status=progress
To clone a drive, I use dd that is usually with any linux distro.
if = input device
of = output device
bs = blocksize
count = number of sectors to be copied
conv = additional options sync = keeps LBA synced if unable to read (will fill with zeros on target drive for sector it was unable to read) noerror = will not stop on error
status = progress, shows how much data as been copied so far.
