How to migrate an embedded device (WD LIVE TV HUB) from a mechanical HD to SSD?

The WD LIVE TV HUB is outfitted with a 1TB mechanical HD and the goal is to upgrade it to a 2TB SSD, because the device HD is 12 years old and will fail sooner than later. > The primary processor on the Hub is a Sigma SMP8654AD-CBE3, which is > the same as used on the WD Live Plus. Ethernet is provided by a > Realtek RTL8110SC and there’s 256 MB of RAM. As far as software, just > like the previous models, the WD TV Live Hub runs Linux internally. I have an Ubuntu desktop to format / move data to the SSD. 1) Can Clonezilla be used format / move data to the SSD? 2) OR do I have to format the SSD with gParted and rsync the data to the SSD? Looking for a simple and systematic procedure, preferably from someone has done this before. If both are options, a review of the pros / cons is appreciated.
