Does copying the UUID happen with cloning software?
I'd kind of hoped to
clone my current boot drive's boot partition to the SSD.

regarding cloning (partitions, or the whole drive):
I have an older version of this nifty little gadget, and am considering buying
one of the new models.
It works very well, and the newer models have a "one-touch cloning" feature.
The only problem I ever had was that the hard drives themselves tend to
overheat, especially in warm weather (because they are not inside the chassis
with a fan blowing on them). Sometimes I would even take the overheated hard
drive and set it inside my freezer for a little while to cool down, because
they would get HOT to the touch.
Solution: get a powerful fan, and set your docking station directly in front
of it. However, you don't want to use this full-time, but only for plugging
in and transferring files, backups or cloning a partition, etc.
You shouldn't, for example, try to watch films from a hard drive plugged into
your docking staton.
