                          In :

    sudo dd if=/dev/sda bs=64k | pv --size 1.5t | dd of=/dev/sdb

Does the block size for dd go on the left side of this after the input as shown or on the right after the output?

With the pipe viewer size option, is it correct that there is no equals sign before the value?  Is it okay to use a decimal value as shown above?
