SSD solution for a longer period

[BitView]

Hi guys,
My SSD is getting full. With some apps downloaded and the whole bitcoin blockchain on it slowly but surely my SSDwill run out of space. Normal reaction will be a more capacity SSD, for the short run.

I see a guide of cloning the current disk to another one with bigger capacity. I have not tested myself.

[GUIDE] Cloning or Migrating SSD/HDD (Windows)

This guide is for anyone who needs to migrate from an HDD to a SSD, or vice-versa… You can also clone the drive to move it to a bigger drive. Currently I only have Windows instructions. So if anyone would like to make instructions for Linux, or Mac, feel free to do so. TL;DR: version – scroll all the way down. Things needed: Windows PC (of course.) 2 USB 3.0 enclosures or whatever interfaces/enclosures you use for your drives. The drive you’re migrating/cloning from (any size) The drive y…

Agree with @lost_knight that this is the best method for migrating.

In terms of selecting a new drive, if the biggest use of space on your drive is the bitcoin blockchain, I think it is still a good long-term move just to upgrade to 2TB or so. With the block-size limit, Bitcoin’s blockchain only grows at ~80-100GB per year, so an extra TB will go a long way.
