Thanks for the hint! I used SuperDuper overnight (took 6 hours @ 9MB/sec), and it worked perfectly with the exception that the new drive wasn't encrypted by default. Disk Utility used to be my go-to app, but it fails for so many things anymore, it's not worth wasting time with. -Carl > On Mar 12, 2019, at 1:44 PM, Matt Penna <[email protected]> wrote: > > Would something like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner do the job? I use SuperDuper to clone my backups (and for many other one-off tasks) and it’s never let me down. It’s also free. > > Disk Utility has become so bug laden in my experience that it fails nearly 100% of the time, no matter what I try to do with it, only to inexplicably work on a second or third attempt under the same conditions—even with something as simple as initializing a disk. Big thumbs down from me on the quality of this program, these days. > > Matt > > >> On Mar 12, 2019, at 3:19 PM, Carl Hoefs <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> I'm on macOS High Sierra, and I'm trying to clone an older USB flash drive to a new one, using Disk Utility. >> Both drives work normally, with no known problems.
