I installed a 2 TB SSD in my PC today, and I think my PC is running out of free M2 slots. When the 2 TB drive fills up, can I swap it for a 4 or 8 TB SSD without losing any of my data?

Loading...Hello everyone, Unfortunately, I'm not very tech-savvy and I spend a lot of time reading forums. I have two old Dell monitors, each with two DisplayPort connections. Neither monitor has HDMI ports! I would like to use both monitors for work and connect them to my laptop. The problem: My laptop only has HDMI and…
Today, when I connected a USB stick to my PC, Windows suddenly displayed a different icon for the USB drive, which looked different from the others. Does Windows think the USB stick is a server? On the F: drive?
CPU: Pentium 1 mm x 166 MHz Graphics card: Matrox Mystique 4MB (want to upgrade to Matrox Millennium 2) 32 MB Edo RAM DVD RW drive floppy disk drive 8 GB IDE hard drive 4 GB SCSI hard disk on PCI controller 145 Watt AT power supply
I just got a new graphics card and would like to sell it. Where's the best place to do this? Is eBay a good place to start, or are other platforms more recommended?
Hello,
if you do exchange the 2 TB M.2 SSD times, then the data will remain on it. At least for a certain time, as a rule of thumb, it is said that the data on the SSD will survive up to 2 years without power supply.

But how do I do it when I replace the SSD and install an 8TB SSD, how do I get the data from the 2TB SSD to the 8TB SSD with a PC?
Both SSDs would have to be installed for this. Or you can connect one of the SSDs with an adapter if there is no more matching slot
please
thank you very much
Theoretically, you can clon this M2 SSD later on a larger SSD.
I’ve done it more often with the Macrium Reflect software.
With a little disk management, you should have a 2TB SSD for the operating system and the installed software.
I did this, for example:
The OS starts from the M2 on the motherboard.
Then another S-ATA SSD is behind an unused slot plate for the data of daily use.
A 3.5″ 12TB HDD works in one of the drive shafts for all further data, not daily use, in particular space eaters such as CAD data or videos.
The idea behind it is simple that you will not complete the C-Drive, where the operating system starts, and you will distribute your data to other physical media. Exchange these data carriers is simple. However, if you want to swap the OS disk, you need M2 or NVME adapter where you start closing on another computer.
Yes, but to move the data you need a PC with enough slots or you need to save the data on another disk. If you have installed Windows on this hard drive, you cannot enlarge the partition.( My knowledge) But you could make one more on the hard drive. (So you could hang on a 4 TB M2 hard drive 2x 2TB hard drives in the system… Is shown as two hard drives in the system.
You can also buy a NVMe to M2 card and connect it to your PC. Then you have more slots for your hard drives.
Connect with e.g. USB controller* and clone directly, then adjust the partition table or change it with partitioning tools.
Alternatively with zB clonezilla create an image to other disks (ext. hard drive), to which new ones play back, either before creating a matching partitioning or then moving & zooming.
