With the internal drive in the macbook, connect the drive you want to clone it to via a usb hard drive enclosure. HD ENCLOSURE

Then use CARBON COPY CLONER or whatever method you like to clone the data over to the ssd drive.

Then install the ssd drive into the macbook and dont forget to set the boot option in system preferences to point to the new ssd drive.
