      I want to upgrade to a SSD and want to make sure I understand everything before I start the process. I very much appreciate some advice beforehand.

      Currently I have a pretty standard Raspberry Pi 4 case and fan and have been using a 512 sdcard. The image I am using is my own. I have a power supply with an extra button to turn the power on and off outside of my arcade cabinet.

      I plan to purchase the following:

      1. https://www.argon40.com/products/argon-one-m-2-case-for-raspberry-pi-4

      2. https://www.argon40.com/products/argon-one-m-2-expansion-board-nvme?pr_prod_strat=copurchase&pr_rec_id=05ff06d8c&pr_rec_pid=6824727707713&pr_ref_pid=6734580285505&pr_seq=uniform

      3. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09K7CR37G/?coliid=I1ANLTJZMCKXF2&colid=TB7A2E3H72IF&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

      I have three questions:

      1. Hardware-wise, is there anything else I need or is this it?

      2. Being that my image is up-to-date, are there any .cfg files that I'll need to modify to go from sdcard to ssd?

      3. I assume all I have to do is copy my image from the sdcard to the ssd?

      Again, thank you for the advice.
