How to copy a external HDD without waiting for HOURS?

Just how do I do that, because well... one TB drive and one 360 GB drive transporting data to a new drive is rather slow. How can I speed up things?

Hi @RingTailCoon

Generally speaking, the speed of transfer depends on how fast your drives are, and since yours are both HDDs, this length of transfer can’t be easily impacted.

I thiiiiiiiiiink I found something from EASEUS. Disk copier, only it works for a month. (trial). But I think even for me it's easy!

But I though everything in windows 10 was easy for raccoons?

Hi,
Connect it internally
If on a laptop this probably is not possible.

Nopes, Disk Copy from EaseUs also grabs USB devices. So I can plug in an old external HDD and clone all the stuff to the new external HDD.

Hello @RingTailCoon,

Other than breaking up the coping into smaller blocks [ Directories, Folders, etc ], have you considered XCopy or RoboCopy?

Here are just a couple of links that might help . . .

> XCopy
> RoboCopy

I hope this helps.
