I need to clone a SED SSD drive that is using TCG OPAL / SED hardware encryption. What tools should I use to clone such drive? Can I use Acronis True Image? Any other tools? Thanks!

One of the somewhat-useful forum posts that is worth taking a look at:

Quote: Cloning is not an issue. I've used Casper after unlocking a drive and have cloned it to an UNlocked SSD without problem. That SSD can then be encrypted if you want. Source: https://www.techspot.com/community/topics/introduction-and-guide-to-managing-self-encrypting-drives.204628/
