Adding 2nd SSD - which filesystem?

jere · Post by **jere** » Mon Feb 08, 2016 7:51 am

Hello,

Just a couple of quick questions about adding another SSD:

1) Which filesystem are supported (ext2, ext3, ext4 or fat32)?
2) Do I have to access to the BIOS settings in order to select the boot order etc (or does the Kronos automatically detect the 2nd SSD)?
3) Is the procedure simply that you add the 2nd SSD, power on and you're ready to go?

Thanks!

btw. This is a great forum!

FAT16 & FAT32

2) Do I have to access to the BIOS settings in order to select the boot order etc (or does the Kronos automatically detect the 2nd SSD)?

The KRONOS boots from SATA Port 0 so make sure the factory drive is connected to that port and your new drive is connected to Port 1. The KRONOS will auto-detect the new drive.

3) Is the procedure simply that you add the 2nd SSD, power on and you're ready to go?

Pretty much other that you will probably have to format the new drive after it's installed.

btw. This is a great forum!

Darn right it is

Thanks for the information!

Instead of adding the 2nd SSD I think I'm going to replace the original SSD with a bigger SSD (250GB) by using Clonezilla bootable Live USB and Gparted in Linux Mint.

FAT16 & FAT32 are supported for external USB drives only.

ext3 is required for internal drives, and the KRONOS should format them as such.

I'm afraid my brain is leaky DRAM which is not refreshed as often as it should be:)

Hello,

I ended up replacing the original SSD (60GB) to a 250GB SSD with using CloneZilla Live and Gparted. I had to go with the "expert mode" in CloneZilla and select "fsck-src-part-y" for sdb2 and sdb5 -partitions in order to get everything cloned as a disk image. Other than that everything went nice and smoothly.
