You won't be able to clone the 2TB drive to the SSD at all if the data exceeds 512GB.
Cloning software does not and cannot distinguish between what data belongs to your OS install and what data is your personal stuff.

/EDIT ok, sorry, I read the topic a bit more attentively, you're not that N00b.

Anyway what you're asking is pretty much the whole point of cloning software. Otherwise we'd be dragging and dropping folders onto the new drive and that would be it.
