This is an external ssd, so I'm not super worried about things going wrong.

Is this your first time using gparted?

Here's an example with pictures:

https://gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=moving-space-between-partitions

Basically you're going to select the partition, then click Resize/Move and then drag the end of the partition all the way to the right and then the beginning of the partition as far to the right as you want (the final size of the partition does not have to stay exactly the same as it is now, but dont squash them down to exactly the size of the data that's currently in the partition, leave some extra space).

The difference between this example and your situation is that your partitions are not inside of an extended partition (yours are all primary partitions). This doesn't matter, you only need to worry about moving the start and end points of each primary partition.

Start with the partition that is furthest to the right.

Thanks a lot, I somehow could not find this information in my search yesterday.
