[QUOTE="mikearend, post: 1687750, member: 364807"] Hey guys I got things rolling. Got the 6 TB formatted for Mac and attached it to the MacBook Pro. An Apple guy at Best Buy said that he thought the best way was to mount my PC drives in a USB enclosure or a docking station, I opted for the docking station with a USB connected to the Mac. I was able to see the drive on the Mac and copied the files over in one big chunk of about 1.7 TB it's still chugging along but it looks like it's going to be about four hours total. So far this looks like an ideal solution the docking bay was only 30 bucks, no more expensive than a cable. As soon as this drive is done transferring I will switch to the second 2 TB and do the same. When everything looks stable I will reformat be a terabyte as a Mac drive and set it up to be a Time Machine backup. If I run into any issues I will post that thanks for the replies from everybody.
