avoid dd with SSD drives as the wear leveling will only see the one
big block, which defeats the function of wear leveling. You want to
use something like scp so the drives wear leveling will work on the
many individual files - ie for SSD drives, many small is better than
singular big for leveling.

other than that, something Mac specific is likely best at catching
anything extra special that may be done for that vendors partitions.
