      Hello,
      Might be a ridiculous question, but can I change out the USB drive I am using to store ROMs?

      I recently set up retropie and have been using a small flash drive for storage. I set that flash drive up exactly as outlined in the guide and it worked perfectly. I want to switch to a bigger drive, but will that require extra steps? Can I just perform the same setup procedure with the new drive? Or even copy the file structure from one drive to the other?

        Yes, that should work. The USBmount script just looks for the directory name retropie-mount and mounts it if it's found.
