I have three backup drives filled with random data. I purchased a larger drive and want to combine them into one. Many copies exist for the same files across the drives, making manual checks tedious. Do you know if there’s a tool that can identify unique folders or files from each and merge them into a single file without duplicates?

You could use both options if you could accommodate the data from all three drives onto the one with duplicates. However, it isn't possible at the moment.

LogicMaster will examine several disks concurrently. Just link them all together at once, remove duplicate files, and then merge the information into a single storage device.

Sure thing. Set up three folders on the same drive. Store each set of files in its own folder. Use the duplicate finder tool on that drive to locate everything. Afterward, combine the contents. Also, CCleaner supports scanning across multiple drives (Tools > Duplicate finder).

They don't match... it's a 4TB model, right?

He seemed to imply he couldn't accomplish it since there wouldn't be any space left.
