I have an internal hard drive in my Windows desktop.
I now have a MacBook Pro, along with a 14TB USB3 drive. I expect to format that as APFS (unless I hear differently?!)
Looking to move across the Windows internal drive contents in its entirety, which is 99% RAW photo files.
Thinking I'll expose it as a temporary network shared drive, then access it from my laptop with the external drive plugged in? Contents is about 4TB. Given the sheer volume of files along with average filesize of like ~30MB, should I literally just copy+paste or it feels like I should probably use a different method or tool to get the data from the older drive while ensuring integrity of it (checksums?)
Not entirely sure what I'll be doing with the old drive inside the Windows desktop, but I'm not planning to keep it in sync or anything afterwards.
