I don’t know enough about Linux yet but could you add another ssd and mount it to the data directory of bitcoin core? The place it saves the data to?

I dont see why not but Im not the best with mount points in hard drives but it would for sure take some finagling.

If you wanted to upgrade your nodes data drive you might have an easier time taking the node down for a few hours while you plug in the new HD, copy over the data directory, point core at the new data drive and catch up.
