Solved Is There A Better Way To Copy An External Disk Drive

You could create an image so you can deploy that disk's files to any drive of your choosing, but selecting all of the folders in the drive and then dragging it over to the other seems easiest to me. If you left-click the top folder, then scroll down and shift + left-click the bottom folder, it will select all files in-between and speed up the process a bit for you.
Any program differences will most likely result in a negligible speed difference, as it is dictated by your hardware (the drives themselves), and not so much the software (what program you choose to move them with).

You can use something like Macrium Reflect Free to clone the disk which should give you an exact copy.

I have not used this exact model nor do I make any profit from recommending this.
It is just an example of what is available
