Hey everyone! Appreciate your help in advance.
I have a 1.5TB WD Green drive that is starting to go bad after about 5 years of heavy use. I purchased a 2TB WD Black drive to replace it. I should also mention that I have a 120GB SSD that I use for Windows and key applications.
What I'm hoping to accomplish is to clone the Green (E) drive to the Black drive, remove the Green drive from the system, rename the Black drive to "E:" in Disk Management and keep all of the file pathing in between the two drives (SSD and Storage) in tact.
Will this work? Is there something I'm missing or is it really that easy? Also is there any recommendations around software that I should use to accomplish this?
Thanks!
Brad
