So I have a 4Tb western digital NAS that I use data that I don’t really care about but I don’t want it taking up data on my main drives.

I’m only using 3.5tb of space.

I am trying to reorganize everything and using all dupe, there is a ton of duplicates.

Is there a dumbed down way that I could transfer the data from the NAS to my 8tb external drive so that I could get rid of most of the duplicates?

Then because for that old NAS, I care more about space so I’d reformat It and change it so it’s not in raid and make it become 8tb.

My most important data is already on my new synology and that whole thing is backed up to synology c2.
