Aligment to a 4k blocksize. This is what most of the SSDs and advanced
format HDDs use. Both your partitions have to be aligned to 4k block
boundaries and the filesystem you create on top of them must support
the 4k blocksize.

The rsync approach Heinz suggests also has the advantage that you can change
the size of your new partitions in the target system. The other block copying
approaches would need either identically sized partitions or physical disks.
