[QUOTE="lori5060, post: 1861294, member: 348803"] thanks all of you. my reasoning for wanting to put all my external drive files on 3tb drive is so i could have all in one place while i copy them to individual drives. i have so very many duplicates and dont want to have 3 ext drives connected to my mac whilst i work thru them all. hard on the drives and my mac! i do have TM backup copies as well as multiple copies on individual drives but they are so outdated now and need cleaning up. yes and my very precious pictures... i have tons of copies all over the place! i thought i was organized with all my folders and their naming....but sometimes i just cant find the file im looking for cuz its in so many different places with possible different name too. my issue is that over time as new files are created or edited and i dont want to lose those newer ones. and/or i have issues which gives me a fright.... i do a backup of files yet again. not sure what "interface speed and, if it is a mechanical drive, rotation speed" is... please explain.
