Hello,

You can use as a base the following procedure :

Then remove and reload the container with modified parameters pointing to the new HDD and new drive size. You can keep the same identity.

If your current storage.path: X:\storagenode in the config.yaml - then yes.
You can consider to do it in subfolder for easy use, like

mkdir M:/storagenode

and then copy:

robocopy X:/storagenode M:/storagenode/storage /MIR

I also would recommend to copy your identity to the disk too. You will need to modify paths in the config.yaml for your identity keys after that.
The new path to data on the new disk would be storage.path: M:\storagenode\storage\
