There are a number of posts about migrating data from one server to another, but I'm asking if there is a way to move the physical disks between two servers.
I face a 24 bay PowerEdge R730XD that I setup with the first drive being the TrueNAS boot disk and swapfile. I've recently purchased a 2TD M.2 NVMe SSD that I'm able to use as the boot drive and swapfile, but I don't have any convenient way to have both configurations booted at the same time in order to transfer the folders/datasets between them.
I can see that the storage drives are definitely visible when I've booted under the NVMe image, but I'm not sure what the right way is to go about importing/adopting the storage drives into the new instance of the NAS without losing the data.
Is this even possible?
