Posted February 20, 2019 I currently have a 1 TB Toshiba DT01ACA100 HDD and I am wanting to upgrade to a 2 TB Seagate BarraCuda HDD, how would I be able to move all the data from my 1 TB Toshiba HDD to a 2 TB Seagate HDD?

Posted February 20, 2019 If you're using a PC, you can install both of them into the computer and just move files from the original to the other. Otherwise, there are SATA-USB3 adapters that'll let you just plug the drive in and transfer stuff Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen R7 3700X @4.4Ghz, GPU: Gigabyte RX 5700 XT, RAM: 32 GB (2x 8GB Trident Z Royal + 2x 8GB TForce Vulkan Z) @3000Mhz, Motherboard: ASRock B550m Steel Legend, Storage: 1x WD Black 1Tb NVMe (boot) + 1x Samsung 860 QVO 1Tb SSD (storage), Case: Thermaltake Core V21, Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 20, 2019 if it's your boot drive and you want to copy everything you'll need to use drive cloning software such as Macrium Reflect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 20, 2019 In addition to what @Adorable Cat (nice name btw) said, I would recommend transferring the data in small chunks. So rather than just selecting all and moving it to the new drive, do something like a couple folders (as long as they're not more than 10GB in size). This way, it's actually faster and safer. But if it is your boot drive, I would backup all your personal data to a thumb drive or external hdd, then do a fresh install of Windows (or whatever OS). Everything just goes much more smoothly that way, you'll have less headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
