and this should read

  # tar --xattrs -czf /mount/point/old_SSD/partition_x /mount/point/where_you_want_it/partition_x.tar.gz; echo $?

An additional note to the "cp" command.

If you want to be absolutely safe after running "cp", power off the
machine. Boot the *buntu live media again and for each (mounted ;)
partition run

  # diff -r --no-dereference /mount/point/old_SSD/partition_x /mount/point/new_SSD/partition_x

Running diff without powering of the machine first gains nothing, since
diff would use the cache and not compare the data stored on the SSD's
cells.
