I’m looking to upgrade drives on two of my machines. My server running ubuntu has a 3.5" and will be getting a larger capacity HDD, while my personal computer running endeavor OS will be going from a 2.5" ssd to an nvme drive. (Not sure if it helps giving the drive types, but can’t hurt).
I’m fine with a clean install and reinstalling everything, but to save some time I’d of course like to minimize the effort that goes into it (importing settings etc). Any tips/tricks for either? Thanks in advance
Absolutely this. Relatively quick and clean, no messing with installation or reconfiguration. That is, assuming your data isn’t completely corrupted and the old drive doesn’t just outright fail during transfer… But if that happens you were screwed to begin with.
The old drives are fine, just either too small or too slow, so it sounds like it may be an option
