I was pretty jet lagged and not sure if X folder transferred completely to New Hard Drive. If I remember correctly, I cancelled the transfer at some point. However, now in review, New Hard Drive is reporting that the physical size of the folder is equally large as Old Hard Drive. Is it possible that New Hard Drive does NOT have everything properly backed up, but is just reporting it, or did it probably go through?

Edit: same number of folders and same number of files are reported. So the question is, are all files intact and I’m remembering something wrong, or should I delete in New Hard Drive and re-transfer?

    You can checksum them, might be faster than delete and retransfer. Some tools can do that for you at scale; I forget if rsync that that ability or not. Not sure what os or tools you have available, though, so ymmv.
