You must be lucky as I've heard that SSDs don't usually give a warning.
My oldest (running) is a h/o server data drive that's been running 24/7 for about 6 years now. I've never had one fail yet. (knock on wood) 
For disk cloning, I've used Acronis. Just last month I replaced the SSD in my 6 y/o laptop with a new, larger one but opted to reinstall everything fresh to get rid of the hp crapware and cruft.

Lately I got a brand new computer and wanted to migrate from it's 512GB SSD to a 2TB one.
I use AOMEI and I'm glad of doing it (Thanks OG), but seen that it doesn't cope well with UEFI so I was not able to do that.
I had a license of ACRONIS 2020 which worked very well.
But, and this could be interesting for you, some SSD come with the right to download a free of charge utility like that.
Hope this helps.

I've used Paragon Hard Disk Manager tools for many years - as well as imaging, can also convert directly to a runnable VMWare VM etc.
Can be booted from a WinPE USB stick (or Linux) so doesn't need the host to be bootable...

My personal aproach to imaging is a Linux live medium and dd. While dd not having any sort of a progress bar is a PITA, it works fine for low-level copying of disks.

You can perform a bare metal/image backup with Veeam Backup for Windows.
It's free for personal use. The limitation is you can only specify one type of backup.
You will need to download the recovery image. You can create a bootable USB or just burn the ISO to disc that you will need for recovery.

Any of the packages that let you do a disk clone should work. I’ve done this several times swapping spinners with SSDs on old laptops. I’ve used Aomei, Macrium and EaseUs. All worked. Best if you can create a separate boot medium (thumb drive or such) so you’re not trying to clone the disk you’re booting from. Or use another machine and hook both drives up to it using USB enclosures.

Demiurg - Das Unruhe (Secrets of Black Smarts)[^]
So this is a funny one.
I've had this album in my CD collection for years, probably even like ten years or more.
I think I bought it from some guy who I used to buy CDs from on festivals and he recommended this to me.
Must've listened to it when I got home, didn't find it interesting and never listened to it again.
Until last week, because I was curious what it was.
Turned out to be a hell of an album!
Unfortunately, the only thing I can find from this band is that they're from Murmansk, Russia, and that they only released this album in 2004 before they split up.
And this song on YouTube is the only audio that's online.
At least it wasn't hard deciding which song to share.
If you can find this CD somewhere (plenty available on Discogs!) I can highly recommend it

We have different definitions of "better" 
Maybe this one[^] matches your mood.
It's from the album that convinced me at least some good music may come from Japan

I was never a big REM fan but I always found Andy Kaufman funny
so when REM did Man on The Moon (Wiesbaden, Germany 2003) I had to listen
Even if the lyrics and music is not your taste what is amazing is the audience
they are not flashing cell phones my how times change

People had lighters back in the day.
Also not a fan of R.E.M. although I can enjoy Losing My Religion and probably other songs as well, like this one

I would do a few more but I rarely solve them; I was nowhere near with today's.

Likewise, been having a look but I seem to be in really poor form lately.

I liked the one you set though

Give me a couple of weeks to get back into form and I might even get the chance to try another!
