Moving Hackintosh to NVMe SSD from SATA SSD... How can I retain all my data in the move?

Hi there everyone.

I just ordered the WD Black SN750 500GB NVMe SSD after researching around online and confirming that other Hackintoshers have the exact same SSD working in macOS. I was previously planning on buying the Samsung 970 EVO Plus, but after some research I've found that model to not function properly with macOS. I saw the advice to opt for a 970 EVO Pro instead somewhere either on this forum or another Hackintosh webspace, but I wasn't willing to pay the extra price premium for minimal performance differentiation. Reference below...

Samsung 970 EVO Pro 512GB @ $167.99:

- Read: "Up to 3500MBps"

- Write: "Up to 2300MBps"

WD Black SN750 500GB @ $104.99:

- Read: "Up to 3470MBps"

- Write: "Up to 2600MBps"

TLDR;

As the title suggests, I've ordered my first NVMe SSD and want to move all my existing data over to the new drive once it arrives. I'd like to mirror EXACTLY my current 250GB SATA SSD right over to the 500GB NVMe SSD if possible so that everything is as if nothing changed.

How can I do this without data loss? What's the best method?

Thank you for reading.
