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.
