    I have a laptop with 2 internal drives, ssd (A) and 1tb hdd (B)
    [
    Attached are 2 ext hdd drives (C) and (D) via usb3.0 and a das attached via usb3.0


    The das contains
    2tb (E)
    3tb X 2 (F,G)

    My goal is to transfer all the data from B - E to F and G

    Is it faster for me to
    1. transfer as much data from B to F,G
    2. transfer data from c,d to b then to F,G?
    3. Transfer data from e to b then to F,G?
    Or just

    Directly transfer from source to F,G?
