Backup everything that's on the SSD *and* the external storage pool HDDs - this will take a lot of time and space but that's the price I have to pay for the safety I get 2. Connect the new SSD, wipe the external drives 3. Install Qubes OS on the new SSD 4. Create external storage pools on the additional HDDs 5. Make the SSD the default pool; restore VMs for SSD 6. Make external disk 1 the default pool; restore VMs for this pool 7. Make external disk 2 the default pool; restore VMs for this pool 8. Switch default pool back to SSD 9. Done How does this sound?This looks good, with the caveats others noted in this thread.
For posterity, a couple of true 'shortcut' methods are possible (although using backup+restore is always safer).
One method involves dd'ing the entire old drive contents onto the new drive. At the end you'll have to expand the partition holding qubes_dom0, as well as the volume group itself and pool00 in order to have access to the additional space on the new drive; but that should be easy.
A second method uses LVM management commands to mirror the volume group onto the new drive, but there would be extra steps you'd need to take for a Qubes boot partition:
