Depends on what you mean by 'best'....
1TB for more size, M2 might be slightly faster...
I cloned my sons old lappie he had in school - it needed a bigger drive and the licence was managed by the school so rebuilding it was not an option and i was too stingy to pay for a new OS.
I did end up with more speed and more GB - but the cloning process itself was a bit rocky...
at risk of spouting what you may already know -
cloning is (more or less) a byte for byte copy of your existing drive, including any quirks or foibles....like a buggered registry.
If your old drive is the same size as your new drive - happy days - but if its not - you will need to re-size your main partition to get full use of the new drive.
In my case - the recovery partition on the old drive was corrupt, and the new drive wouldn't boot until i got rid of it....so if my main partition dies, that lappie will end up on gumtree.
my strong advice - if you have all your original install software - backup your user data, and rebuild from scratch.
for something like w7 - this is better anyway - and you will always have your old drive as a "backup"
best of luck!
