I bought a Sandisk SSD Plus 120GB. I formatted it using a SATA to USB cable by connecting it to my Early 2011 MacBook by performing formatting on Disk Utility and creating 1 partition. Then I cloned it using SuperDuper!
Then I replaced it with my existing HDD in the laptop. When I switched on the Mac, flashing folder came. I repeated the cloning process thrice but it didn’t work. My normal HDD is working fine on MacBook.

Set disk utility to show all devices / partitions. Format that drive to use GUID partition table and make sure the partition is formatted as Mac OS X journaled (whatever the first one is called) and try cloning it again if you haven’t already.
I haven’t know of a reliable way of cloning drives on Mac, for now I’ve been using migration assistant with a external portable hard drive for backup to copy data from old drive to new ssd.

Thanks for replying. SSD is getting recognised by my Mac when connected externally but after cloning and installing it in the Mac it is not being recognised. Moreover, my HDD has used 34.29 GB (Including System, Applications and all other stuff) but on the cloned SSD it is showing that only 29 GB is used. Does that mean that cloning is not done properly? When I try another method (using bootable flash drive) then in Mac OS X disc utility, only my flash drive appears (even after formatting my SSD using GUID partition).
@rajat21 - I agree! @benjamen50 - Using any Cloning software is so passé
Scratch the disk using Disk Utility format it GUID and journaled file system from your bootable OS installer drive. You really can't use anything higher than Sierra on your system without having problems How to create a bootable macOS Sierra installer drive
But! Before you do this you also need to replace the HD SATA cable as SSD's push the limits of the cable. The version of your cable is likely the older one which can't really support anything faster than a SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) HDD your system came with. Even the late 2011 systems cable was still not able to support SSD's either.
You'll want to replace it with the 2012 versions of the cable:
● MacBook Pro 13" Unibody (Mid 2012) Hard Drive Cable
● MacBook Pro 15" Unibody (Mid 2012) Hard Drive Cable
You'll want to place a strip of electricians tape on the uppercase where the cable crosses over to help protect it from the rough surface of the aluminum. In addition you don't want to crease the cable! A sharp bend damages it! You want a smooth arc as over bending the thin foil wires will damage them.
