    When I worked in an IT office, we often had multiple erase and clone processes going at the same time. We used machines like this: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Bay-eSATA-SATA-Standalone/dp/B005CQ12W2 (First search result). We started the process and worked on other stuff. We had a flat fee of €40 or something for a HDD to SSD upgrade (clone + erase + installation). The actual work was 15-20 minutes.

    Nobody is wasting actual time when you can just have the process going when doing other stuff.

      I agree that it is worth it at scale, but for a freelancer it won’t make much financial difference getting a new drive after a project.
