I just drag and drop, entire folders, using USB 3 it goes pretty fast. Even with huge files. If I have say 20 folders containing data, I would copy 10, and then the other 10. (20 including all the sub folders)

Acronis "disk clone" (it one of the utility tools already available on your package) is the fastest method of copying data I know of. acronis.com You could first slice your disk up in two or up to four primary partitions if its convenient to store your data that way. The only limitiation I consider is I never want a partition that is more then about 60% full, because I can still easily defragement it that way, and I like to keep a seperate partition for different types of files. For example I keep my operating system files on a different partition. You can create partitions straight from windows disk management or use free partition software. Its a similar process for all versions of M/S windows. e.g For XP support.microsoft.com or perhaps paragon-software.com
