So I've got a HDD in my PC that's mostly used for data storage (Downloads and "My Documents" type stuff) although in my wisdom I did install things like Steam on those drive (although any game I feel would benefit from it goes on an SSD).
I'm thinking it might be nice to swap to an SSD and give myself a bit more (physical) space in the case and maybe lighten it a little (will actually be removing 2 3.5" HDDs and the HDD rack).
So as per my title, the question is what's the best way to copy the data over from the HDD to the SSD, considering that it's not a boot drive?
Do I just ctrl+c and ctrl+v it?
Should I use Acronis or something similar (any suggestion on a free tool?) to clone the drive?
Is there a tool that sorta does ctrl+c and ctrl+v but better?
There's about 600GB to move so it's not gonna be quick, but I'm looking for the easiest and fastest way.
Thanks.
