Problem: Two machines; want to swap SSDs. I'm in town for a few days. Some of my original install disks are here (snow leopard), some of them are out of state (office, parallels etc).
My wife's old Macbook (2008 unibody aluminum. Macbook 5,1) contains a 512GB Samsung 830 running 10.6.8.
My MBP (mid-2010 15") contains an Intel 320-series 160GB SSD running the most updated version OS X.
I have a Synology NAS with sufficient free space and a USB 2 drive enclosure at my disposal.
Is there any way to directly image these SSDs onto each other so that I don't need to reinstall everything? Or am I going to have to worry about alignment or some other complexity like that?
