      Is there any system configuration required after installing the S.2 Sata?

      Thanks

        What are you installing it in? And I'm assuming you meant m.2 SATA.

        You will usually need to reinstall pfSense to the new drive and import your existing config.

          Thank you for your quick reply. Yes I made a type it is a m.2 Sata drive. How do I transfer the configuration from the existing storage location to the new m.2 drive?

            Backup the config file from Diagnostics > Backup/Restore.

            Restore it back into the firewall once it's booting from m.2.

            It is also possible to install the config automatically from the USB installer:
            https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/automatically-restore-during-install.html

            Which of those you'd use depends on what you're installing into.
