 Posted: Fri Oct 18, 2024 12:20 am Post subject: New NVMe drive but only one NVMe slot in motherboard. How? |
 |
|
I'm trying to migrate my Gentoo installation from my current NVMe drive to a new NVMe drive, but I'm running into a roadblock. My laptop only has a single NVMe port on the motherboard, so I have to use a USB enclosure for the new drive. Unfortunately, the USB enclosure's write speeds are quite slow.
Does anyone have any recommendations for how I can efficiently migrate my installation to the new drive? I've considered using a live CD to clone the disk, but I'm unsure if that would be the best approach. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

Use USB NVME drive case.
Later you can use this case with old NVME disk as backup device. |

Thank you for the suggestion. I plan to use the USB NVMe drive enclosure after the migration. However, what is the most efficient way to clone my existing Gentoo installation to the new drive using the USB enclosure?
Should I do a fresh install on the new drive and then manually copy over my configuration and data, or should I attempt to clone the existing installation to the new drive after setting up the partitions?
Are there any specific tools or techniques you recommend for a smooth migration process? |
