- iMac 27" 3.5 i7, 24GB. Drobo5D EHD. Mac Book Air. 2010 15" Mac Book Pro. Retired 2008 (3.1) Mac Pro
I have a Mac Pro (2008, 3.1) with three WD 3TB EHDs holding 6 years worth of Aperture Libraries, Vaults and also Time Machine.
I am upgrading my system to a 2013 27" iMac with Drobo 5D.
What is the best way to transfer data from the old external hard drives to the Drobo?
1] Connect the Drobo to the old Mac (has firewire) and transfer data WD -> Drobo. VS
2] Set up new iMac with Drobo and plug in WD HDs one at a time to iMac and transfer data.
Thanks
