Can i add more storage to the pool in Qubes 4.1

[Confused]

Hi wqroo

@wqroo

Hi im using the Nitropad [x230] with Qubes Os 4.1 and wondering whats the easiest way of adding more storage space?

Like enmus I’d replace original SSD with a bigger one. Install the Qubes from the scratch safest. Or could try use qubes backup before SSD replace and qubes restore after fresh install to new SSD.

i want to buy a bigger SSD dont know how big this one handles

Looked at NitroPad X230 | shop.nitrokey.com under Hard Disk (SATA) up to max 2 TB SSD options listed. Brand and model not said. In past Sven recommended

@Sven

a Samsung PRO SSD (the PRO is important).

@Sven

From my recent experiences: don’t just get a SSD – make sure it is a high performance, professional grade SSD.

I’ve used a Samsung 870 QVO and recently replaced it with a 860 PRO.

When I find money tree hope get professional grade SSD. My $0.02

btw @wqroo welcome to forum!
