Trouble transferring from my book to new passport

My ebook is the old version WD8001032-001 and I want to empty it to my New Passport. It slows down and locks up when I try to move them over . I’m weary about my files staying good on the WD800 and want them on my larger new one. What’s a simple and quick way to do it .

thanks

The simplest and quickest way to transfer files is by moving the folders. If the unit freezes during the process then it’s a sign of drive wear. Try replacing the USB cable of the older unit, and copying files to the bridge computer first if you experience issues when both hard drives are connected.
