How can I transfer big Files from SSD to SSD

Hi Community,

I have some very large files from a recent Documentary filmshoot.

For a backup saftey I want to copy the folder (690GB) from one SSD SanDisk Extreme Portable (APSC mounted) 1TB to a Crucial SSD (Mac Journaled) 2 TB.

I tried nearly everything from my knowledge. Now I need help from the community.

Some of the files are bigger then 6GB. The biggest File is 12GB.


I filmed with ProRes 422 25fps 4k.


Is there any way to copy those files?


Thanks in advance for the help.



MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.0

where are you trying to 'drop' them EXACTLY? what directory?

do you have read/write access for the destination Directory?


EXACTLY what happens when you try? any error messages? EXACTLY what do they say?
