I used a 500GB SSD instead of a 1TB SSD Can it be hot swapped? #226

I recently purchased my Umbrel node, got it all set up, tho I was using a 500Gb SSD. The SSD stopped literally a few blocks before umbrel would say 100%. After a few days of letting it load and restarts, I figured it was my SSDs size doh. I just ordered a 2TB SSD thinking ahead and wanted to know if I could just unplug the old 500GB SSD and replace it with the new 2TB. That is, will it download the blockchain and sync up? Will this work? Or will I have to reflash the SD card and start the process all over again. Thanks!

it appears like this is a yes. I’ll update if anything goes awry.
