Replacing HDD with SSD on MacBook Pro 2011 with Proxmox

[xavax]

Hello everyone,

I have a MacBook Pro from 2011 with Proxmox installed. It currently has an old 512 GB hard drive, and I would like to replace it with a 2 TB Crucial SSD. I'm wondering how to clone the disk.

Is it possible to connect the SSD via USB to the MacBook Pro and perform the cloning directly? If so, could you guide me on the best method to do this? Should I use specific software, or can it be done through a command in Proxmox or Linux?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Could be with possible pitfalls. I would recommend to replace the disk in your MacBook and do a new pve installation onto your new 2TB ssd.
Before do eg mkdir ~/hdd.save and cp -a /etc/pve /etc/network/interfaces ~/hdd.save/. Then switch the disk for pve new inst. After that connect your old 512GB hdd "online" via usb to MacBook also, get the ~/hdd.save from hdd to your ssd and copy your VM's, LXC's and restore the ".conf" files into your new still running pve.
Good luck.
