Hello.

Ive noticed that some of my drives are on its last notes. Movies that otherwise would be great and randomly getting errors so Ive decided its time for upgrade.

This is a pure HTPC setup, except initial reading its only going to playback 1080/4K content thst has been stored so Im thinking a 20TB Toshiba Enterprice MG10. Its not going to be a server where its contantly refreshing data so I guess I dont have to worry about writing chugging (sound)?

Anyways, now I have about 8TB of data spread on 3 discs that I want to move into the new HDD.

Ive only noticed one HDD is starting to have issues and the others are fine, but they are all very old.

What program and method would you advice me to use? I dont think using windows own file "software" is the greatest dealing with this unless I copy/cut/paste file by file, but that is going to take forever.

Thanks
