I am running GETH node on google cloud compute engine instance and started with HDD. It grows 1.5TB now. But it is damn slow. I want to move from HDD to SSD now. How I can do that? I got some solution like : - make a snapshot from the existing disk(HDD) - Edit the instance and attach new SSD with the snapshot made. - I can disconnected old disk afterwards.
One problem here I saw is : Example - If my HDD is 500GB, it is not allowing SSD of size less than 500GB. My data is in TBs now. It will cost like anything.
But, I want to understand if it actually works? Because this is a node I want to use for production. I already waiting too long and cannot afford to wait more.

You should try to use Zonal SSD persistent disks.
As standing in documentation
Each persistent disk can be up to 64 TB in size, so there is no need to manage arrays of disks to create large logical volumes.
