I have 5 5tb portable drives full of data. The biggest files are video are around 3 gb. Much of it is duplicate for obvious reasons. I've recently picked up a 20 tb drive from go hard drive. I'm looking for the fastest way to copy all my data to the 20tb. Currently all drives are usb. I could throw together a quick desktop with usb3 and drop the 20tb in it. I could install windowz or a linux distribution. I also have a spare laptop that could be utilized. There's 10 ways to skin a cat. What's your preferred method? Thank you in advance. My ultimate goal is to set up true nass and I'd like to not have to erase my hard drive when I set up the pools. Currently just planning on mirrored drives.
