I've done this a few times without issue on work drives. I used Disk
Utility. You have to make sure that your HHD partition is the same size or
smaller than your new SSD to be able to copy across. For me, this meant
backing up many non system files and folders onto another disk. Then with
disk utility open you drag your source volume and destination volume to the
relevant fields and hit go. I've had zero issues. I'm sure CCC will do a
great job too, I just preferred to use the native solution.
