File Deduplication
I recently used [fdupes](https://github.com/adrianlopezroche/fdupes) to figure out duplicate files from my amazon cloud drive / photos migration. Took about 2 days to scour through about 1.5TB worth of day.

How would I go about copying around 5TB worth of data, from multiple drives to a singular drive/drives (Shared Pools/Raid)?
I would add the content of your current drives with rysnc to the new big drive. I would then run https://github.com/adrianlopezroche/fdupes To remove duplicate files.

Which tool do you use to find duplicate files?
jdupes, an optimized fork of the popular fdupes. There's 32-bit and 64-bit Win32 packages of jdupes there on Github.

Pip and cargo are not the same
Yes, that would be safer when available (although generally files within library dependencies are not modified I think?). It looks like fclones implements this, is faster and is written in Rust https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones (the last is the most important point of course /s).
