Migrating to new ssd?

Issues & Assistance
1

Hello guys,

Right now I have 512GB one and the one I will migrate to is 1TB. How should I approach this?

I am thinking of:

  1. using dd as mentioned in the Arch Wiki

  2. Resizing the home partition to the desired size

  3. Mounting all partitions to the desired locations

  4. Generating new fstab

Is there something I am missing? What do you think?

no need to do all of this. Flash a thumbdrive with clonezilla and clone one drive to the other.

I can't fully remember if clonezilla also generates new partition UUIDs and such, but just to be sure, format or unplug the old drive before booting.

I used clonezilla a while back to migrate to a new drive, like you, and it worked absolutely flawlessly.

Clonezilla will copy like for like clone.
you will then need to resize the partion table with gparted to make use of the unallocated space.
I would after the clone unplug the original drive then resize the new drive, so if it does not go well you have all your original data to try again
