I'm photographer and currently have about 6.5TB of data, nothing crazy yet. I have a 4TB SSD which I edit off of that's formatted exFAT, a Seagate 8TB for archiving data that's exFAT (which is a backup of my SSD and everything) and another newer Seagate AFPS 8TB that right now is just a second backup of the SSD. I have the exFAT HDD and 4TB SSD backed up on Backblaze as well. I'm wondering if I should backup the first Seagate exFAT HDD to the Seagate AFPS HDD and have Best Buy (I have a plus membership so this would be free) offload the data and reformat the ExFAT Drive to AFPS and reload the data. I do have a Windows Laptop, but seldom use it and figured the SSD could be kept as exFAT for that reason. I wanted to get some suggestions, feedback. Wasn't sure if having both HDD drives as AFPS would make space on the drives more optimized and the read/writing speed a lot faster or worth the trade off in my situation.
