I was told Clonezilla can copy/move old slow 320 GB SATA HDD's updated Debian bullseye v11.3 to an old fast 115 GB SSD (going to wipe it clean). Yes, SSD is smaller but my Debian's installation only uses about 8 GB. I installed Debian use the whole 320 GB drive. I'll still be using the same 13 yrs. old PC. My HDD's df and /etc/fstab can be found in https://pastebin.com/raw/zAJM6Npc. Will this work?
Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

For large device to smaller one, you need to do more steps. You can refer to this:

//NOTE// Backup important data before you use Clonezilla. Just in case.
