Hey there! I've been using Bazzite for about two months, and everything has been great so far. I have a question about swapping my storage drives. I want to replace my NVMe SSD, SATA SSD, and HDD with new ones that have larger capacities. Currently, these drives just store data—not the operating system. Can I simply copy all my data to another location, connect the new drives, and then transfer everything back? Is there anything specific I need to do before starting this process? Thanks, and I hope you all have an awesome day!

If you're only using those drives for storage, your plan is solid. I recently did something similar: I copied my data to my NAS, swapped the drives, and then moved everything back. Just ensure everything is safely backed up to avoid any mishaps!
Since these drives don’t have your operating system, you don’t need to clone anything. Just transferring your files like you're planning is perfectly fine. When you get the new drives set up, just make sure to check back everything before formatting the old ones to ensure nothing's lost.
Thanks for the tip! I feel more confident about the process now.
