    Since you have done that, you can use GParted live to resize that:

    Hello M Grosmann,

    It seems like you've encountered an issue with cloning a 24GB SSD to a 2TB SSD, and the new SSD is only showing the size of the source SSD. The issue might be related to partition resizing.

    Here are steps you can take to resolve this issue:

    Windows:
    Use Disk Management:

    Right-click on the Windows icon and select "Disk Management."
    Find the new SSD in the list. You may see unallocated space.
    Right-click on the partition, and choose "Extend Volume." Follow the wizard to extend the partition.
    Command Prompt:

    Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
    Type diskpart and press Enter.
    Type list disk to show all available disks.
    Type select disk X (replace X with the number of your 2TB SSD).
    Type list partition to display all partitions.
    Type select partition Y (replace Y with the partition number you want to extend).
    Type extend and press Enter.
    Linux:
    Use GParted:

    Install GParted if not already installed (sudo apt-get install gparted for Debian/Ubuntu).
    Open GParted, select your 2TB SSD, and resize the partition to use the full available space.
    Command Line:

    Use fdisk or parted commands to delete and recreate the partition with the correct size.
    Remember to back up your important data before making any changes to disk partitions to avoid data loss. If you're unsure or uncomfortable doing this yourself, consider seeking assistance from someone experienced with disk management.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have further questions or issues.
