Bulk File Copy on osX Catalina

[KingTed]

Is it possible to perform a bulk file copy (eg *.mp3 from one device to another using Catalina's Finder? If not are there any good apps that would do the job?

Within the past week I transferred 12TB and then 16TB worth of files (a combination of business text, photos, video ad nauseum) from two Drobo 5D's to two Lacie 2Big dock drive arrays (attached with T3 to T2 adapters). I was concerned about just using the Finder (10.15.6 on a 6,1 MacPro) because this MacPro is a primary use machine with other work taking place on it. I've had Pathfinder flake on me before. I used Commander 1 and it worked w/o any problems. It took over 3 days, but it all worked out; two innocuous error messages of no consequence.

I've done a lot of network transfers, 40-60 TB in total. Since network transfers can be flaky I use Carbon Copy Cloner. If a transfer fails overnight I can check the problem in the morning, and just start the transfer again. CCC picks up from where it stopped.

Very convenient if you are constantly transferring updated directories. Maybe not so much for a single big transfer. 30 day trial available.
