The optimal method involves creating a bootable USB drive with a full Linux image, then transferring it to the new storage device using tools like Rufus or Etcher.

When the target disk matches the active one, I typically employ a hardware dock with cloning capability. This method remains effective even after four years, though it doesn't apply if the destination offers less space. Generally, rebuilding is preferable over cloning, but my understanding of Linux imaging tools is limited.
