There is an issue with version 1.19 of balena etcher. Until it’s fixed, you’ll need to download earlier 1.18 version if you want to follow this guide

Great guide! Confirmed working. Date(UK): 21/07/2024 - Balena Etcher version 1.18.11 (Obtained from GitHub link in comments) - From 512GB to 2TB (WD SN770M). OLED Steam Deck and same enclosure. Cloning process took ~25 - 35 mins (75% of the 512GB was used). 👍

I will also confirm I just used the newest version on their website because I didn't read the comments first... thankfully their most recent version based on the github was from 3 days ago. I believe they fixed the problem. Everything downloaded successfully. I installed my new SSD, powered on and got worried at first because loading took a minute and it went to the original setup and login screen like a factory restore. Chose English and my time zone, logged into my account and everything is perfectly as I left it. I do have to redo settings and some things, it's almost as if it's a fresh install, yet all my games are installed and working (I've only tested elden ring so far). All my video files I've saved etc are there in desktop mode. All good! 👍

I'm planning on trying this clone method on my LCD deck as soon as it (ssd and enclosure) arrives from Amazon! I just wanted to verify that (as you mentioned in the video) you don't need to worry about partition sizes, etc. I'm just surprised that you don't need to boot to another drive first. There are other guides that show having to boot when using something like clonezilla. How does Belena Etcher handle this differently?

Hold the volume down button during boot, and then check that the ssd card is showing up as a boot drive. If it doesn’t, it means you have not connected the SSD properly. Otherwise, I’d suggest putting your old drive back in and either retrying, or doing the reimage method (I have another video showing how to do that)

No worries bro. If you don’t want to buy an enclosure then follow my other guide to reinstall steamOS - I’ll warn you though you will need to buy a USB drive or micro sd card…personally though I recommend getting an enclosure so that you can use the old SSD as an additional storage device.

He said easy, never said free…. Quite obvious if you’re wanting to clone a drive you’re gonna need some way to connect the nvme externally lol.
