Advice on Copying 2tb to 4tb

I have had a 2tb drive for a number of years. It is very full. I have bought a 4tb drive intending to copy the old to the new. I have tried to do so twice. Each time, after about an hour, the transfer stops and i am told the new drive is no longer available\accessible. Is there a recomended way of transfering please. The flle are in the main music for my radio shows/podcasts and the integrity of the the original dB must be maintained.
