I run a small game console repair shop and am trying to figure out a way to clone Xbox One hard drives. The Xbox One does not have an option to replace the hard drive and reinstall system software, so the only way to swap out a faulty hard drive is to use an Xbox One hard drive from a different console and then reinstall the system software that way.
I tried using Acronis to clone a hard drive (using the exact same model of hard drive) but the Xbox One wouldn't boot up. This leads me to believe that it's not creating perfect one to one clones.
Would I have any more luck with Clonezilla?

i had a similar problem with my xbox one. I was unable to clone a new hard drive using many different methods and programs. Have you had any luck since?

Here I do not have Xbox so I have no way to test and improve Clonezilla live for this purpose.
If anyone has some experience about Clonezilla live and Xbox, please share.
Thanks.

Maybe. It's only after you test it then you will know if Clonezilla works or not.
