Use AOMEI Backupper's cloning tool.

Exactly like the original.

I know. I work at a company where I'm one of the IT guys. I use AOMEI to clone HDD's when we think one is about to die. It's as easy as connecting the HDD, cloning the one I want to clone, which is usually the System drive (Local Disk C), then swap the two HDD's once the cloning is done.

It's very easy and fast.
