Best practices with Terracopy? Verify and checksum? (zerobytes.monster)

First time using Teracopy. I was recommended to use this since I can check "verify files" and it will do that after copying files on drive 1 and syncing to drive 2.

Nobody said anything about checksum files. Not sure if it would be beneficial. I will rename files or add more files to the directory later on drive 1, then sync all the files to drive 2 again.

If I need to do checksum, would I create a checksum for folders on drive 1, then start copy and sync to drive 2 but select "do checksum at the end" so it generates a second checksum on drive 2 that I can compare to the checksum from drive 1?

Also do I need to choose "store/verify checksum on ADS"? (And should I use xx3-64 instead of MD5 now?)

Thank you!
