Greetings,
I have a very old LaCie HD that I plugged in and its sounds sad, creaky and scary.
Suggestions on how to move this information to a new drive that won't strain the old drive is what I am seeking.
Is it best to move one group of folders over at a time and then let the LaCie drive "rest" in between copying files over?
Or would you think its better to clone the drive over in one fell swoop?
I am not sure if the starting and stopping in an incremental copying over does more hardship on the drive or if moving it and having it spin for an extended time is worse.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks in advanced.
