I’m currently using a 4TB HDD as my secondary drive for documents and games, with a 1TB SSD as my boot drive. The HDD has started getting noticeably slow, and I suspect it’s on its way out, so I’m planning to replace it with a 6TB HDD.

What’s the best way to move all my data over and swap the drives without causing issues?

I have a 2‑bay HDD dock that supports cloning. Can I simply clone the old HDD to the new one and then assign the same drive letter, or is there anything else I need to do?
