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?

You can get one of these but they are expensive also be aware there are SATA and nvme M.2 SSD types they are not compatible.

Although you did not mention if your old drive is also M.2. Consider a USB M.2 housing. With software you can then clone the existing drive to the new one and you can then use the old SSD in the housing as a flash drive.

Ah sweet. The current disk is a m2. Gonna try out the m2 housing/cabinet way 😄

If you have a free pcie 4x or higher slot, you can throw in a cheap card to adapt to m.2 nvme, like 12 bucks. I'm running one in my older hp desktop that doesn't have m.2 and it's been working great.
