I have spent the last couple of weeks getting my small used PC into my Proxmox server and it’s going great! …Until I quickly ran into the 256GB SSD size limit of the included drive. So I have ordered a much larger (2tb) one so I can expand much more.
Ideally, I would like to make an exact clone of what I have now just on my bigger SSD to avoid having to rebuild my VMs
One issue is that the computer has room for one drive only. I was hoping to get an exact clone to a USB drive then clone to the new drive once replaced with the new one.
Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated, thank you.
EDIT: Took another look in the guts of my system managed to get another 2tb SSD in there.
Disconnected cd drive and got a power splitter and boom. Could probably get another one even with another splitter as it’s got a 3rd sata port.
Also SSDs don’t even need to be mounted. You can just leave it flapping in the breeze until you get something set up. As long as it’s not literally flapping in the breeze and hitting things it’s probably fine.
