Q&A for How to Transfer Data Between Two Hard Drives

There are many recovery software packages available for free download, such as Pandora recovery software. They can be used to recover deleted data from hard drives, but complete recovery is not guaranteed.

You can use a USB enclosure and hook it up to your PS4. Then, you can do the same with the new HD and simply transfer the data.

The question does not have enough detail for a proper answer. To answer it, we would need to know what operating system you are using, Windows, Linux, Unix, Apple, Etc? Is the internal data drive really just a data drive or is it also the drive with the OS on it? Do you just want to copy the data from one drive to another or are you wanting to clone the original drive so the new drive is a complete bootable copy of the old drive? All these variables require different methods.

Connect the hard drive to your computer with the appropriate cable and open it as you would any other file or folder. Once it's open, you can move your files to your computer or move files from your computer to your hard drive.
