How do you clone an internal (APFS) SSD to a new SSD?

I want to upgrade my old macbook pro 2011 running on High Sierra. Was watching a lot of youtube videos and some people do it the way you did it and other use cloning program like super duper e.t.c. Could you explain whats a difference? I just ordered a new 1T ssd and Sabrent data adapter to do your way. Just don't understand why they use third party program if it's simple to do your way?

[@SoIDoNotForget]

I honestly haven't use that software. I think you can also do with Time Machine but they way I do, it is probably the more reliable. It does work, my computer is running faster. Thanks for your comment!

I’ve tried the method as described but it failed to copy after selecting restore. I have an iMac 2017 with Ventura. Superduper worked for me and found it easy to use. I recommend it to anyone.

Does the new ssd imma put in have to be the same size gigs ? I have 120 gb sss and I wana put a 1tb ssd

[@SoIDoNotForget]

Not really, It coud be any size.

[@AFVetteran]

I don't get the same options. No MAC OS Extended (Journaled). Only options I have is APFS. I don't see a Scheme option either.

[@nhojcam]

late to the party, but same thing here. so, i unmounted the drive on the mac, took it to another mac and had the options available when doing the erase-format step. re-plugged the ssd into the other mac. re-did the erase at the MAC OS Extended (Journaled) option was available.

[@MsAjieko]

wow is very simple

[@SoIDoNotForget]

Yes, indeed.

[@girobh]

Very simple process, just that it stuck with the bar almost at the end for more than 1 hour, and okha only had 180GB of data.
So the HD was very slow. iMac 2019

[@SoIDoNotForget]

Try to do it again.

[@girobh]

@@SoIDoNotForget works correctly, delay 2.5hours

[@seekwithlove]

My said failed to restore.

[@SoIDoNotForget]

:(. Sometimes I just repeat the process.

[@seekwithlove]

@@SoIDoNotForget I have repeated more than half a dozen times already.

[@SoIDoNotForget]

@@seekwithlove sorry to hear that I wish I had the answer on this one.

[@seekwithlove]

@@SoIDoNotForget no worries. You did your best.
