Swapping out an old 2TB pcie 3 drive for a newer 2TB pcie 4 drive.
I was leaning towards using dd, after shrinking the partition on the source drive so it doesn't also 'copy' all the empty space.
Have you done this recently? What was your method?
Or is there a CachyOS/kde tool I may be unaware of?

I use a decent cloning tool like foxclone, dd isn't really the right tool for that kind of thing IMO.
