What is the best way to migrate my Debian 8 installation from a hard disk to an SSD?

I found some solutions online. One of the easiest I found was to use the dd command as follows: dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY bs=128M conv=sparse

Are there any disadvantages of copying a partition using dd command? For example, the block size suitable for hard disk may not be suitable for SSD.
