I have a hard drive currently sitting at around 30k hours on it with nothing I really consider important enough that losing it will mean the end of the world (I typically have important stuff either printed out or copied across >2 drives), but I'm just so lazy and my internet is so slow that I would rather just copy from one drive to another which will still be slow but much faster than having to re-download stuff from websites and such. How should I go about doing this? Do I just buy a drive and do a full mirror or do I just plug them both in and transfer the files over one by one? The drive isn't showing any signs of failing at all but I just want to do this just in case. I have had this drive for probably 6~7 years now and it had gone through 3 PC refreshes so I kinda just want to keep the spirit of everything through those years preserved.
Oh and just to add on, this drive is also where I download everything to instead of my C: drive which is an SSD, so it has taken the most abuse out of all the drives in my system. It isn't the data that I care, it is the spirit of the drive that I care about. All those duplicate files, text files with 1 character in it, random passwords that were changed years ago, accidental screenshots of my desktop, that is what I truly care about.
