[SOLVED] Copying multiple hard drives ?

[Jakedom66]

I have about anywhere from 4-12 hard drives I wish to combine on to a single drive.
I would like to copy and merge all drives on to a single Drive. I was hoping someone might have the knowledge to help me.

If you give us some info on what you are actually trying to do, yes, people here, incl myself, can suggest a pathway forward.

So...what are you actually trying to do?

(1) buy a drive that is big enough to contain all the data you have in those 4-12 drives
(2) install the new drive and format
(3) connect those 4-12 drives one by one via USB docking device, copy all the files...

for example: (because upright docks are usually not secure)

Connect the 8TB. Is this an internal drive or USB?

One by one, connect the other drives, and copy their data to the 8TB.
