Bravo. I'm horrified reading recommendations to use dd for cloning
files on storage devices. dd copies fragmented files as is so you are
messing new drive for performance issues from the get go.
btw: you can "practice" dd with a usb stick or two, if you don't care
what's on them.
take an empty usb stick, copy some stuff on it, copy that stick with
dd to a file, take the other stick, use dd to copy it on the other.
USB sticks show up as similar devices in/dev as /dev/sdx where x is
some letter.
Make sure they (the USB sticks) are not mounted, and do NOT use the
other existing device files in /dev, except for the ones that showed up
new and represent the USB stick
