[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1824284, member: 396914"] Bob, that would be entirely up to you. Do you HAVE to? No, you don't. Just add the new drive to the "farm" of drives as long as you have an attachment point. Now that was the simplistic answer, which should work for 99% of use cases. However, if there is something unique you are doing with the external, then it may make sense to copy the data over to the larger drive and then repurpose the smaller one for something else. [/QUOTE]
