I'm not sure what the technical terms are for this, but I'm having the following problem:
The internal SSD of my laptop died and set itself to readonly. It has all the recovery partitions and all that jazz in addition to my Windows and data folder.
I was able to take a disk image off of the SSD, by booting into Linux and using gnu-ddrescue.
The disk image is slightly larger than 512GB. I, of course, only noticed this, after purchasing a 500GB Samsung NVME SSD.
Now my question is, are all 512GB drives the same size (to the byte)? Or can you only really write these kinds of complete disk images to a larger disk to be sure everything lands on it?
I'm a bit out of my depth here.
