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...I was using it normally, and suddenly it went off and now it won't turn on again? The light that comes on when the power adapter is plugged in also doesn't come on anymore.
Hello, I recently got a Macbook Air m1 2020 and on some Macbooks the Apple symbol on the back lights up, but that was abolished. Does anyone know if my Macbook still has it and if so, how do I set it? Thanks in advance for the answers

When I open Epic Games, it says an update is needed and a countdown starts from 30 seconds. When the countdown is up, an update starts, and when it's finished, Epic Games closes and doesn't reopen automatically. If I open it manually, it starts again (the countdown, etc.). I've already restarted my PC, but it…
Hello everyone out there, I have several SATA HDDs lying around and both the older HDDs and my very latest HDD have various additional pins in addition to the SATA pins (see photos), some of which have different distances to the SATA pins. Since I've never used them and haven't been able to find out…
My cousin doesn't have any storage space for an update, the thing is, his game is 40 GB and his files say something like 5 GB of 116 Bg free and next to it there's I think a similar folder with 116 of 116 free and it needs help. Thanks
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.
