Both are identical 4TB drives. The second one is empty.

Essentially transferring the first's contents to the second. If it's a one-time, IMO don't bother w/ technical details and thinking of what has been said about incremental methods, do it simple and use the method you do know, whatever it's cp, rsync or dd. Start it and watch, the time wasted in learning more or hesitating won't save you any minute during this one-time copy, speed/time is not your concern here. Regards, -- wwp
