I have a small external backup drive where I dump my phone camera captures and archive YouTube channels - nothing special; a few terabytes, mostly mp4s.

Is there anything I need to do before/after I swap?

If it matters, the drive is 9TB, formatted as NTFS, and connected via USB 3.0.

I also have 4 internal drives, but I’m not so much worried about them, as I plan on just formatting everything but the external.

    I’m pretty neurotic about that anyway, but this drive is only external because I ran out of headers; I don’t plan on ever unplugging it. I do appreciate the info though
