Recently purchased a 1TB sabrent card to upgrade my deck’s internal storage. I know I could flash a fresh SteamOS image, but since I have an M2 adapter, it would be great if I could just clone the old drive instead, allowing me to keep the games I’ve downloaded and other software I’ve installed.
Does anyone have any suggestions for tools or tips for doing this? Thanks in advance!
I did this on my upgrade from 256GB to 1TB!
Instead of using gparted though I booted Clonezilla off the Deck and cloned it that way, took about 45-60 minutes to clone the drive and I was up and going. Honestly would suggest anyone do it that way if possible.
Let me know if you’ve got some questions.
Glad to know Clonezilla does work for the deck - it’s one of my favorite tools and what I use for full system images on all my computers.
The easiest way would be to use gparted from a USB drive. It has an interface to do all this, as well as resize the cloned partition to fill the entire new drive.
