I have a new hard drive. I need to transfer about 4 TB of data to. I’m not in a rush, the current hard drive is not failing or anything, but I don’t want to put undue stress on either of them.

Is there a recommended way to transfer large amounts of data while giving hard drives a chance to rest periodically?
