I have a WD Elements 18tb drive and am upgrading to a 24tb. I want to ensure everything transfers with 0 errors, and the windows file explorer copy paste can be extremely dodgy and crash.

Is there a program that out there for this sort of thing? That will create a checksum or something and handle the transfer and ensure everything goes smoothly? Or is there just some better way except Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V 16 TB of data in file explorer between the two drives? There has to be right?
