MBR may do the least damage.

I believe I had to install an MBR record before Linux would recognize the drive.

I then used a simple "dd" command to clone the original image onto the new drive.

Under Windows the drive must be recognized for Clonezilla to work, but often the Boot sector and/or initialization info Windows writes out causes the drive to not be recognized under QNX that your car runs.

If you find that your car fails to recognize the cloned drive, e.g. you get no maps what-so-ever, then pull it back out and perform a complete erase with OEM tools that will zero out the SSD completely including boot records.

I had to do this the first time I tried as I erroneously selected GPT and had to start over cloning the image back to the SSD.

It's a good idea to save a copy of the image of your HDD too in case you ever need it again.
