- Cloning Raspberry Pi OS from SD card to SSD improves speed, reliability, and disk longevity.
- Steps include booting from SSD, expanding the root partition, and removing the old SD card.
- Verify and enable services like Apache2 and MySQL for smooth operation.
- Enable TRIM for SSD longevity and automate weekly TRIM operations.
- Create and enable swap on SSD with recommended size for a 4 GB Raspberry Pi.
- Reduce SSD writes by moving /tmp to RAM using tmpfs.
- Finalize /etc/fstab setup for SSD, including swap and tmpfs configurations.
- Reboot and verify all changes, ensuring root and boot are on SSD, swap is active, and TRIM works.
- Optimized setup results in faster, more reliable performance for web servers, databases, and daily use.
