Hey Guys,

I need to upgrade my storage so I bought myself a new internal 4tb hard drive. Now I need to transfer all of my work from my old external 2tb to my new drive. I think cloning is the best way to go because I have some software on the drive as well. To clone I am using Acronis True Image but It isn't recognizing my 4TB drive. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I don't know if it's still relevant but a while back Acronis had an issue recognizing 4tb drives connected via sata and no problem via USB. If your hardware is a couple of years old or more this may be what happening. Perhaps a simple solution if possible would be to make the Acronis image of the 2tb external drive then swap it for the 4tb drive in the external dock, mount the image, then move the 4tb drive internally?? Just a thought.
