I've never actually tried this, but I think the following would clone a drive at the bit level:

dd if=/dev/macHarddrive of=/dev/otherdisk

you might also want to switch on
dd dd if=/dev/macHarddrive of=/dev/otherdisk conv=noerror

the latter switch cause the transfer to ignore any corrupted parts of the disk without aborting the entire copy.

But dd will also copy fragmentations.
