Hi I wish to copy over files from one drive to the other
it is around 350 - 400gigabytes of data should I copy it over using windows? Or would it be quicker to use Norton Ghost? What do you all think?  |

Just use windows for what it's worth, it's going to take a little bit of time either way (1.5 hours perhaps?).

cool any difference in speed?
I was thinking I could do it folder by folder just to be safe the other point is it's sata to sata so norton ghost might not detect sata drives? |

Really no point in using Ghost, just do a file transfer.
And data will only travel at a certain maximum speed down a given bus path

351 gb all in all
copying it over as I type approx 130-150 minutes psd99 holds his breath! I hope to wake up to it all copied but I dread I will get one of those "Do you want to copy read only" question somewhere very soon! Then it will stop copying untill I click yes! |
