   1. Check your motherboard if it supports M2 or if it only has SATA   
   2. Buy a SSD/NVMe of a size big enough to contain the content of the HDD   
   3. Use dd to clone the largest HDD to the SSD/NVMe   
   4. Use parted or fdisk to get the sizes of the partitions of the next HDD   
   5. Use parted/fdisk to add new partitions of the right size to the SSD/NVMe   
   6. Use dd to clone each partition from the HDD to the new partitions on   
   the SSD/NVMe   
   7. jump back to point 4 and repeat the steps for the next HDD.   
   8. When no more HDD left, you are finished.   
      
   Example:   
   dd bs=4M conv=sync,noerror status=progress if=/dev/hdd-partition   
   of=/dev/nvme-ssd-partition   
      
   store away your HDDs, keep them as backup.
