Cloning an SSD for a Music Streamer

Greetings all,

 

I have a Cocktail Audio X-45 music streamer with a 2TB internal SATA SSD. I have now run out of space for adding music and plan to replace it with a 4TB or 6TB Internal or External SATA SSD.

What is the best/most precise method for cloning my music database from one SSD to the other? Do I need a software program, SATA cable or other mechanism to accomplish this? Is it possible that I need to connect them through my computer?

Full Dislcoure: I am not a Computer audio user. I have a stand-alone 2 channel system. Although, I am moderately computer literate.

Any guidance offered would be most appreciated.

Thanks & Cheers,

Steve

There is a free Windows program called SyncToy.

It will automatically keep two USB/HDD or SSDs identical for backup purposes, like RAID or to use another drive on another system or in the car etc.

Everytime you add files to one drive the second drive gets backed up and checked for inconsistencies when they are scanned by SyncToy.
