Okay so im planning to buy a new m2 ssd for my elitedesk. I got a 256 gb m2 ssd today but it’s starting to fill up.

But I’m wondering if I just can get a new one and transfer everything from the old ssd to the new one?

I’m using proxmox now. Is there anything I need to consider?

    just use dd with option conv=fsync and a reasonable blocksize like bs=1M. make sure you know which ssd is the one you read from and which you write to. command lsblk might be helpful here.

        remember that it can get messed up when you copy a partition in use. you should use a live system (boot from usb or cdrom) to do the copying.
