Hi everyone!
I recently formatted my Chromebox and installed GalliumOS as a replacement for the old Kodibuntu install. After I got everything up and running (SMB share, Airplay etc.) I realized that I really should replace the internal 16 GB SSD with something bigger. There are reasonably priced 256GB M.2 SATA III SSDs over at AliExpress, so I was thinking about getting one. I really don't want to start over again, so I'd prefer to clone the existing drive.
But I've never cloned an SSD on a Linux-based system before. Have anyone done this with their Chromebox before? I've been thinking about buying this M.2 to USB adapter. Is is as simple as inserting the new SSD into this adapter and run a disk cloning program on the Chromebox?
Thanks!
